We divide 978479 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 978479.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 9 from 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 7 / 9

On to step 2:
If we divide 7 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
78 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 72 from 78, we get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 9

Step 4:
9 can be fit into 64 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1087.0
Subtracting 63 from 64 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 9

Step 5:
17 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10871.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 9 from 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 89 by 9, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108719.0
If we take 81 away from 89, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 108719.8
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
9 goes into 80 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 108719.88
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 108719.88 with a balance of 0.008.
