We divide 917789 by 9
We want to figure out the number of times 917789 can be divided by 9.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 9 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 9

Step 2:
1 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 9, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 101.0
If we take 9 away from 17, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 9

Step 4:
9 can be fit into 87 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1019.0
If we take 81 away from 87, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
9 goes into 68 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10197.0
Subtract 63 from 68 to get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 9

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 59 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 101976.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 54 from 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
50 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 101976.5
If we take 45 away from 50, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 101976.55
If we take 45 away from 50, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 101976.55 with a remaining 0.005.
