986048 divided by 2 
We want to divide 986048 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Step 3:
When dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 493.0
Subtract 6 from 6 to get 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4930.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
2 goes into 4 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49302.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 493024.0
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.

On to step 7:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 493024.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 493024.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 493024.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
