We divide 897044 by 2
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 897044.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 2 fits into 8 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 2

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 9 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 2

Advancing to step 3:
17 divided by 2 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 448.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 2

Step 4:
10 divided by 2 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4485.0
If we subtract 10 from 10, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 4 by 2, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 44852.0
If we take 4 away from 4, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 2

On to step 6:
4 divided by 2 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 448522.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 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.

Step 7:
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: 448522.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 448522.0
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.

Our division results in 448522.0 with a remaining 0.0.
