254173 divided by 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 254173 can be divided by 9.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 9

Step 2:
When dividing 25 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 18 from 25.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
74 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 9

On to step 4:
When dividing 21 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 282.0
Subtract 18 from 21 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
9 can be fit into 37 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2824.0
If we take 36 away from 37, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
9 goes into 13 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28241.0
If we subtract 9 from 13, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 40 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 28241.4
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 40 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28241.44
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 28241.44 and a remainder of 0.004.
