Let's divide 144717 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 144717.

On to step 1:
9 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 9

On to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 14 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 9 from 14, we get 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
9 can be fit into 54 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 54 from 54, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
9 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 71 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
9 can be fit into 71 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1607.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 63 from 71.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
87 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16079.0
If we subtract 81 from 87, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16079.6
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 54 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
60 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16079.66
If we take 54 away from 60, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 16079.66 with a remainder of 0.006.
