We look at the division of 901969 by 5 
Our goal is to divide 901969 by 5.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 5, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 5 away from 9, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 5

Step 2:
5 goes into 40 8 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 19 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1803.0
Deduct 15 from 19 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 5

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 46 by 5, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18039.0
If we take 45 away from 46, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
5 can be fit into 19 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 180393.0
If we subtract 15 from 19, 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 5, we get 8 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180393.8
Subtract 40 from 40 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 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 180393.8
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180393.8
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

After the division, we end up with 180393.8 and a remainder of 0.0.
