We're dividing 972998 by 5 
We want to divide 972998 by 5.

Step 1:
5 can be fit into 9 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 5 from 9 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
5 can be fit into 47 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 45 from 47 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 5

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 5 fits into 22 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 194.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 20 from 22.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
5 can be fit into 29 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1945.0
If we take 25 away from 29, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 5

Step 5:
5 can be fit into 49 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19459.0
If we take 45 away from 49, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 5

Step 6:
48 divided by 5 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 194599.0
Subtract 45 from 48 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 5, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 194599.6
Subtracting 30 from 30 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 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 194599.6
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
0 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 194599.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 194599.6 with a balance of 0.0.
