We divide 973268 by 2
Our goal is to divide 973268 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 2

On to step 2:
17 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 13 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 goes into 12 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4866.0
Deduct 12 from 12 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
6 divided by 2 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48663.0
Deduct 6 from 6 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
8 divided by 2 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486634.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up 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.

Step 7:
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: 486634.0
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.

On to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 486634.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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 486634.0 with a remaining 0.0.
