We're dividing 204961 by 1 
We're looking to find how many times 1 goes into 204961.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 1 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 0 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 1

On to step 3:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 204.0
If we subtract 4 from 4, we get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
9 divided by 1 is 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2049.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
The number 1 fits into 6 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20496.0
If we subtract 6 from 6, we get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 1 by 1, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 204961.0
Subtracting 1 from 1 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 204961.0
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 8:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204961.0
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.

The final outcome is 204961.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
