170852 ÷ 9 
Our goal is to divide 170852 by 9.

Moving on to step 1:
9 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 9 from 17, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 80 / 9

Step 3:
9 goes into 80 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
88 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 189.0
Subtracting 81 from 88 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 75 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 75 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1898.0
Subtracting 72 from 75 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
9 can be fit into 32 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18983.0
Subtract 27 from 32 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
9 goes into 50 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18983.5
Deduct 45 from 50 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 50 by 9, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18983.55
Subtract 45 from 50 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18983.55 and a remainder of 0.005.
