We're dividing 983081 by 2 
Our goal is to divide 983081 by 2.

Advancing to step 1:
2 goes into 9 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
2 goes into 18 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 2

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 3 by 2, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 491.0
If we take 2 away from 3, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 2

Advancing to step 4:
2 goes into 10 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4915.0
Subtracting 10 from 10 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 2

On to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49154.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 2

Advancing to step 6:
1 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 491540.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 2 fits into 10 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 491540.5
Deduct 10 from 10 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 2, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 491540.5
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:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 491540.5
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.

The final result is 491540.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
