844980 ÷ 5 
We want to figure out the number of times 844980 can be divided by 5.

Step 1:
8 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 5 away from 8, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 30 from 34.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 5

On to step 3:
5 goes into 44 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 40 from 44.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 5

Step 4:
When dividing 49 by 5, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1689.0
Subtract 45 from 49 to get 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 5

On to step 5:
If we divide 48 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 16899.0
Subtract 45 from 48 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 5

Step 6:
When dividing 30 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 168996.0
If we take 30 away from 30, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168996.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 168996.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 168996.0 with a balance of 0.0.
