966417 ÷ 2 
Our goal is to divide 966417 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
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
16 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtracting 16 from 16 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
6 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 483.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

On to step 4:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4832.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
2 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48320.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

Step 6:
When dividing 17 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 483208.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
2 can be fit into 10 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 483208.5
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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 483208.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 483208.5
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.

The final result is 483208.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
