We're dividing 980985 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 980985 by 2.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Step 2:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 490.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4904.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 18 by 2, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49049.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 2

On to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 490492.0
Subtracting 4 from 5 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 490492.5
If we take 10 away from 10, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 490492.5
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.

Step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 490492.5
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.

The final result is 490492.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
