We divide 212898 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 212898.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 21 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 18 from 21, we get 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 9

Step 3:
The number 9 fits into 32 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 27 from 32 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
58 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we take 54 away from 58, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 9

Step 5:
9 goes into 49 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2365.0
Deduct 45 from 49 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 9

On to step 6:
9 can be fit into 48 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23655.0
Subtracting 45 from 48 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.

Moving on to step 7:
9 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23655.3
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:
9 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23655.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 23655.33 with a balance of 0.003.
