We look at the division of 972980 by 1 
We want to figure out the number of times 972980 can be divided by 1.

Advancing to step 1:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 1

Step 2:
1 can be fit into 7 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtracting 7 from 7 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 1

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 1 fits into 2 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 972.0
If we subtract 2 from 2, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9729.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 1

Step 5:
1 goes into 8 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 97298.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 1

Advancing to step 6:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 972980.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 972980.0
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.

On 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: 972980.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 972980.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
