We look at the division of 978964 by 1 
We want to divide 978964 by 1.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 goes into 9 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 1

Step 2:
If we divide 7 by 1, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
If we subtract 7 from 7, we get 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Advancing to step 3:
8 divided by 1 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 978.0
Subtract 8 from 8 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

On to step 4:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9789.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 6 / 1

On to step 5:
If we divide 6 by 1, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97896.0
If we take 6 away from 6, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 1

Going ahead to step 6:
1 can be fit into 4 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 978964.0
Deduct 4 from 4 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.

Advancing to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 978964.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 1 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 978964.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

The final result is 978964.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
