978109 ÷ 1 
We're looking to find how many times 1 goes into 978109.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 1, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 9 from 9 and we're left with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 1

Advancing to step 2:
7 divided by 1 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 97.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 7 from 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 1

Going ahead to step 3:
8 divided by 1 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 978.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 1 / 1

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1 by 1, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9781.0
Deduct 1 from 1 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 0 / 1

Let's proceed to step 5:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97810.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 1

Let's proceed to step 6:
1 can be fit into 9 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 978109.0
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 978109.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 978109.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 978109.0 with a balance of 0.0.
