Let's divide 979924 by 5
We want to divide 979924 by 5.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 5, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 5 from 9 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 5

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 5, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 45 from 47.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 29 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 195.0
If we subtract 25 from 29, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
5 goes into 49 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1959.0
If we take 45 away from 49, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 5

Going ahead to step 5:
5 goes into 42 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19598.0
If we subtract 40 from 42, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 5

On to step 6:
24 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 195984.0
If we subtract 20 from 24, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 40 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195984.8
If we subtract 40 from 40, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 195984.8
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.

Step 9:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195984.8
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 195984.8, and the remainder is 0.0.
