We divide 587817 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 587817.

On to step 1:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 4 from 5, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 2

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 7 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293.0
Subtracting 6 from 7 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 can be fit into 18 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2939.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29390.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293908.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 293908.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 293908.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 293908.5
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 293908.5 with a balance of 0.0.
