Let's divide 978739 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 978739.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 9, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
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 / 9

On to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
9 goes into 78 8 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
Subtract 72 from 78 to get 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
67 divided by 9 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1087.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 63 from 67.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
43 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10874.0
Subtracting 36 from 43 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
79 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108748.0
Subtracting 72 from 79 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
70 divided by 9 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108748.7
If we subtract 63 from 70, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
9 can be fit into 70 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 108748.77
If we take 63 away from 70, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Our division results in 108748.77 with a remaining 0.007.
