We're dividing 996415 by 2 
We want to divide 996415 by 2.

On to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 2

On to step 2:
If we divide 19 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 can be fit into 16 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
If we take 16 away from 16, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4982.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

On to step 5:
When dividing 1 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 49820.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 15 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 498207.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 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:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 498207.5
Deduct 10 from 10 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.

Going ahead 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: 498207.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 498207.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 498207.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
