We look at the division of 981479 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 981479 by 2.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with 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.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Advancing to step 2:
2 can be fit into 18 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 2

Step 3:
2 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 490.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 2

On to step 4:
2 can be fit into 14 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4907.0
If we take 14 away from 14, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
2 goes into 7 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 49073.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 6 from 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
2 goes into 19 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 490739.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 18 from 19.
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.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 490739.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 10 from 10.
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:
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: 490739.5
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.

Step 9:
2 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 490739.5
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.

The final outcome is 490739.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
