Assuming one division of a cell results in two cells, 20 divisions would be necessary

THE LONG WAY


1 -> 2
2 -> 4
4 -> 8
8 -> 16
16 -> 32
32 -> 64
64 -> 128
128 -> 256
256 -> 512
512 -> 1,024
1,024 -> 2,048
2,048 -> 4,096
4,096 -> 8,192
8,192 -> 16,384
16,384 -> 32,768
32,768 -> 65,536
65,536 -> 131,072
131,072 -> 262,144
262,144 -> 524,288
524,288 -> 1,048,576


THE SHORT WAY


log(1,000,000) / log(2) = 19.9316 = 20 [partial divisions not allowed]
