540698 ÷ 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 540698 can be divided by 9.

On to step 1:
9 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 9

Step 2:
If we divide 54 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 54 from 54, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
0 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
6 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 600.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 69 by 9, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6007.0
Subtract 63 from 69 to get 6.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 68 / 9

Step 6:
When dividing 68 by 9, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60077.0
If we subtract 63 from 68, we 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:
50 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60077.5
If we subtract 45 from 50, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 60077.55
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 45 from 50.
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 60077.55 and a remainder of 0.005.
