We divide 977971 by 5
Let's see how many times 5 fits into 977971.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 can be fit into 9 1 times, resulting in 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.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 45 from 47 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
5 goes into 27 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195.0
Subtract 25 from 27 to get 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Step 4:
When dividing 29 by 5, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1955.0
Deduct 25 from 29 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 5

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 47 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19559.0
Subtracting 45 from 47 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
21 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195594.0
If we take 20 away from 21, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
10 divided by 5 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 195594.2
Deduct 10 from 10 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 8:
5 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: 195594.2
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.

Step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195594.2
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.

The final result is 195594.2 with a remainder of 0.0.
