726977 divided by 9 
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 726977.

Step 1:
If we divide 7 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 72 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 72 from 72.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 6 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
69 divided by 9 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 807.0
If we take 63 away from 69, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 67 by 9, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8077.0
Subtracting 63 from 67 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 9

Step 6:
9 can be fit into 47 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80775.0
Subtracting 45 from 47 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 80775.2
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
9 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80775.22
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final result is 80775.22 with a remainder of 0.002.
