We look at the division of 956597 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 956597.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 14 away from 15, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
2 can be fit into 16 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 478.0
If we subtract 16 from 16, we get 0.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 5 / 2

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4782.0
Deduct 4 from 5 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 2

Advancing to step 5:
19 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47829.0
If we subtract 18 from 19, we get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 2

On to step 6:
2 goes into 17 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 478298.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 2, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 478298.5
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 478298.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 478298.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 478298.5 with a balance of 0.0.
