988034 divided by 2 
We want to figure out the number of times 988034 can be divided by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 2

Step 2:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
8 divided by 2 is 4 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.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4940.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
3 divided by 2 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 49401.0
Subtracting 2 from 3 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 14 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 494017.0
Subtract 14 from 14 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.

On to step 7:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 494017.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
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: 494017.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 494017.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
