Let's divide 147971 by 9
We want to divide 147971 by 9.

Advancing to step 1:
9 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 9

On to step 2:
9 can be fit into 14 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 9 away from 14, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
57 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 54 from 57 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 can be fit into 39 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we subtract 36 from 39, we get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1644.0
Subtracting 36 from 37 leaves us with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 9

On to step 6:
9 goes into 11 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16441.0
If we take 9 away from 11, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16441.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
20 divided by 9 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16441.22
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 16441.22, with a leftover of 0.002.
