495979 ÷ 1 
Our goal is to divide 495979 by 1.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 1 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 1

Going ahead to step 2:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 9 from 9, we get 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 1

Advancing to step 3:
5 divided by 1 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 495.0
Deduct 5 from 5 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 1

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 9 by 1, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4959.0
If we take 9 away from 9, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 1

On to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 1, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49597.0
If we subtract 7 from 7, we get 0.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 9 / 1

Going ahead to step 6:
1 goes into 9 9 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 495979.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
1 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 495979.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 1, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 495979.0
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.

After the division, we end up with 495979.0 and a remainder of 0.0.
