Let's divide 987918 by 1
Our goal is to divide 987918 by 1.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 1

Step 2:
If we divide 8 by 1, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98.0
If we subtract 8 from 8, we get 0.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

Moving on to step 3:
7 divided by 1 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 987.0
Subtract 7 from 7 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 9 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9879.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 1

Advancing to step 5:
The number 1 fits into 1 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98791.0
Subtracting 1 from 1 leaves us with 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 1

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 987918.0
If we take 8 away from 8, 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.

Going ahead 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: 987918.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 987918.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 987918.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
