We divide 976954 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 976954.

Advancing to step 1:
9 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
9 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 76 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 72 from 76, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
9 goes into 49 5 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1085.0
If we subtract 45 from 49, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 45 / 9

On to step 5:
9 goes into 45 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10855.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 45 from 45.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 9

On to step 6:
9 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108550.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
9 can be fit into 40 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 108550.4
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
40 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 108550.44
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 108550.44, with a leftover of 0.004.
