980493 ÷ 123 
We want to figure out the number of times 980493 can be divided by 123.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 123, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 123

Advancing to step 2:
123 goes into 98 0 times with a remainder of 98.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 98, we end up with 98.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 98 and continue: 980 / 123

On to step 3:
The number 123 fits into 980 7 times, leaving a remainder of 119.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 861 from 980, we get 119.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 119 and repeat the process: 1194 / 123

Moving on to step 4:
123 can be fit into 1194 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 1107 from 1194 to get 87.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 879 / 123

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 879 by 123, we get 7 and a remainder of 18.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 797.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 861 from 879.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 183 / 123

Let's proceed to step 6:
123 can be fit into 183 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7971.0
Deduct 123 from 183 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
123 can be fit into 600 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7971.4
Deduct 492 from 600 and we're left with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 1080 by 123, we get 8 with a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7971.48
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 984 from 1080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
123 can be fit into 960 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 99.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7971.487
The remainder is 99 after subtracting 861 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 123 fits into 990 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7971.4878
Subtract 984 from 990 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.

On to step 11:
60 divided by 123 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7971.4878
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 600 by 123, we get 4 and a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7971.487804
If we subtract 492 from 600, we get 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
1080 divided by 123 is 8 with a remainder of 96.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7971.4878048
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 984 from 1080.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 960 by 123, we get 7 with a remainder of 99.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7971.48780487
The remainder is 99 after subtracting 861 from 960.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 990, and continue the process.

The final result is 7971.48780487 with a remainder of 9.9e-08.
