Let's divide 286678 by 9
Our goal is to divide 286678 by 9.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 28 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 16 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
16 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 9 from 16 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 76 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
9 can be fit into 76 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 318.0
Deduct 72 from 76 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
9 can be fit into 47 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3185.0
Subtracting 45 from 47 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
9 goes into 28 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31853.0
Subtract 27 from 28 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
10 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31853.1
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 9 fits into 10 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31853.11
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 31853.11 with a remainder of 0.001.
