Let's divide 538976 by 9
We want to figure out the number of times 538976 can be divided by 9.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 53 / 9

On to step 2:
9 goes into 53 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 45 from 53, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
9 goes into 88 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 81 from 88, we get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 can be fit into 79 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 598.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 9

Step 5:
9 can be fit into 77 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5988.0
If we subtract 72 from 77, we get 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 9

On to step 6:
9 goes into 56 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59886.0
Deduct 54 from 56 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59886.2
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us 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 8:
If we divide 20 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59886.22
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.

After the division, we end up with 59886.22 and a remainder of 0.002.
