178717 divided by 9 
We want to divide 178717 by 9.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 9

Advancing to step 2:
9 goes into 17 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 9 from 17 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
9 goes into 88 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 81 from 88, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 9

Moving on to step 4:
77 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 198.0
Deduct 72 from 77 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 9

On to step 5:
51 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1985.0
Subtract 45 from 51 to get 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 67 by 9, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19857.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 63 from 67.
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:
9 goes into 40 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19857.4
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:
40 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19857.44
If we take 36 away from 40, 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.

The final outcome is 19857.44, with a leftover of 0.004.
