170979 divided by 9 
We want to divide 170979 by 9.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 9 from 17 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 80 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
80 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
89 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 189.0
If we subtract 81 from 89, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
87 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1899.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 81 from 87.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 69 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18997.0
If we take 63 away from 69, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
60 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18997.6
Subtract 54 from 60 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 9, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18997.66
Subtract 54 from 60 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 18997.66, and the remainder is 0.006.
