Let's divide 971168 by 2
We want to divide 971168 by 2.

On to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 2, we get 8 and a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
2 can be fit into 11 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 485.0
Deduct 10 from 11 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
11 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4855.0
If we take 10 away from 11, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
16 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48558.0
Subtract 16 from 16 to get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

On to step 6:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 485584.0
Subtracting 8 from 8 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 485584.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 485584.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 485584.0 with a balance of 0.0.
