217804 divided by 9 
We want to divide 217804 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
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 9

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 18 from 21, we get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 9

Step 3:
9 can be fit into 37 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 36 from 37, we get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 18 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 242.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 9

On to step 5:
9 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2420.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 4 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24200.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 40 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24200.4
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 9 fits into 40 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24200.44
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.

The quotient of the division is 24200.44, and the remainder is 0.004.
