We divide 996339 by 2
We want to figure out the number of times 996339 can be divided by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 2

On to step 2:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
16 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 498.0
If we take 16 away from 16, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 3 by 2, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4981.0
Deduct 2 from 3 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 13 by 2, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49816.0
If we subtract 12 from 13, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 19 by 2, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 498169.0
If we take 18 away from 19, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 498169.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 498169.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 498169.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 498169.5 with a balance of 0.0.
