We're dividing 144472 by 9 
Our goal is to divide 144472 by 9.

Moving on to step 1:
9 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 9

Step 2:
9 goes into 14 1 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 9 from 14 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 54 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 54 away from 54, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
9 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 160.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
9 can be fit into 47 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1605.0
Subtracting 45 from 47 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 9

Step 6:
The number 9 fits into 22 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16052.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 18 from 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
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: 16052.4
If we subtract 36 from 40, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
9 can be fit into 40 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16052.44
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.

After the division, we end up with 16052.44 and a remainder of 0.004.
