Let's divide 966959 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 966959.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
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

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 2, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 2

Step 3:
If we divide 6 by 2, we get 3 and a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 483.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4834.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 2

Step 5:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 48347.0
If we take 14 away from 15, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
The number 2 fits into 19 9 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 483479.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
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:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 483479.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 483479.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 483479.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 483479.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
