Let's divide 378494 by 9
Our goal is to divide 378494 by 9.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 9

On to step 2:
9 can be fit into 37 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 36 from 37 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 divided by 9 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
9 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 420.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 9

Step 5:
9 goes into 49 5 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4205.0
If we take 45 away from 49, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 9

On to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 44 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42054.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 36 from 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 9 fits into 80 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42054.8
If we take 72 away from 80, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42054.88
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 42054.88, and the remainder is 0.008.
