We look at the division of 177987 by 9 
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 177987.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 9 from 17 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 87 by 9, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 81 away from 87, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 9

On to step 4:
9 can be fit into 69 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 197.0
Deduct 63 from 69 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 9

On to step 5:
If we divide 68 by 9, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1977.0
Subtract 63 from 68 to get 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 9

Step 6:
The number 9 fits into 57 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19776.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 54 from 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
9 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19776.3
If we take 27 away from 30, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 30 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19776.33
Subtract 27 from 30 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 19776.33 with a balance of 0.003.
