We divide 538998 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 538998.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 53 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 45 from 53 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 88 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 81 away from 88, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 9

Step 4:
9 goes into 79 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 598.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
9 can be fit into 79 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5988.0
If we take 72 away from 79, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 78 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 59888.0
Deduct 72 from 78 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
9 goes into 60 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 59888.6
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59888.66
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.

After the division, we end up with 59888.66 and a remainder of 0.006.
