We divide 491844 by 9
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 491844.

On to step 1:
9 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
9 goes into 49 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 45 away from 49, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 41 / 9

Step 3:
9 can be fit into 41 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Deduct 36 from 41 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 546.0
If we take 54 away from 58, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 9

On to step 5:
If we divide 44 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5464.0
Subtract 36 from 44 to get 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 84 by 9, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 54649.0
Deduct 81 from 84 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 30 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54649.3
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 27 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
9 goes into 30 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54649.33
If we subtract 27 from 30, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final result is 54649.33 with a remainder of 0.003.
