985138 ÷ 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 985138 can be divided by 9.

Moving on to step 1:
9 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 9

On to step 2:
9 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 9

On to step 3:
9 goes into 85 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 109.0
If we subtract 81 from 85, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 41 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 41 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1094.0
Deduct 36 from 41 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
9 goes into 53 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10945.0
If we subtract 45 from 53, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 88 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109459.0
Subtract 81 from 88 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
9 goes into 70 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109459.7
If we take 63 away from 70, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
70 divided by 9 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 109459.77
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 63 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 109459.77 with a balance of 0.007.
