We're dividing 988823 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 988823 by 2.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
2 goes into 8 4 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 8 / 2

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 8 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4944.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 2

Step 5:
If we divide 2 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49441.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 3 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 3 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 494411.0
If we subtract 2 from 3, we 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.

Step 7:
2 can be fit into 10 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 494411.5
Subtract 10 from 10 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 494411.5
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 494411.5
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 quotient of the division is 494411.5, and the remainder is 0.0.
