Let's divide 916985 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 916985.

Step 1:
2 can be fit into 9 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 8 from 9 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 can be fit into 11 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 10 from 11 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 2 fits into 16 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 458.0
Deduct 16 from 16 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4584.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 2, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 45849.0
Subtracting 18 from 18 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 2

Step 6:
2 can be fit into 5 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 458492.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 458492.5
Subtracting 10 from 10 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.

On 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: 458492.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 458492.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 458492.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
