Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to divide 979 by 9 using long division.

The steps are as follows:

Step 1: Divide the first digit. 9 divided by 9 is 1. Write 1 as the first digit of the quotient.
Step 2: Multiply 1 by 9 and subtract from 9. This leaves 0. Bring down the next digit, 7.
Step 3: Now divide 7 by 9. The result is 0 (because 7 is less than 9). Write 0 as the next digit of the quotient.
Step 4: Bring down the next digit, which is 9, making it 79.
Step 5: Divide 79 by 9. This gives 8 since 9 times 8 is 72.
Step 6: Multiply 8 by 9 giving 72, and subtract from 79 leaving a remainder of 7.

The quotient of the division is 108 with a remainder of 7.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $108$ with a remainder of 7.
