We look at the division of 986891 by 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 986891.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 2, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 8 from 9, we get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 2

Moving on to step 2:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 2

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 6 by 2, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 493.0
Subtracting 6 from 6 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 2

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 2, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4934.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 2

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 9 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49344.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 2

Step 6:
When dividing 11 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 493445.0
If we subtract 10 from 11, we get 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.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 493445.5
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.

Advancing 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: 493445.5
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.

Step 9:
0 divided by 2 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 493445.5
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 493445.5 with a balance of 0.0.
