476859 divided by 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 476859 can be divided by 9.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 9

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 47 by 9, we get 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 45 from 47 to get 2.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 26 / 9

Step 3:
9 goes into 26 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52.0
If we subtract 18 from 26, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 9

Step 4:
When dividing 88 by 9, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 529.0
Subtract 81 from 88 to get 7.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 75 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
The number 9 fits into 75 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5298.0
If we subtract 72 from 75, we get 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 9

On to step 6:
9 goes into 39 4 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 52984.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 36 from 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 30 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52984.3
Subtracting 27 from 30 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 30 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 52984.33
Subtract 27 from 30 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.

The final outcome is 52984.33, with a leftover of 0.003.
