218957 divided by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 218957.

On to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 2 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 2 from 2 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtract 18 from 18 to get 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1094.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 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.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10947.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 2

Let's proceed to step 6:
2 can be fit into 17 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 109478.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us 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.

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: 109478.5
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:
The number 2 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109478.5
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
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: 109478.5
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 final result is 109478.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
