Let's divide 988024 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 988024 can be divided by 2.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 2

Step 3:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 494.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4940.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 49401.0
Subtracting 2 from 2 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 4 by 2, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494012.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 494012.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494012.0
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.

Our division results in 494012.0 with a remaining 0.0.
