Let's divide 218879 by 9
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 218879.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 9

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 18 from 21 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 38 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 36 away from 38, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 9

On to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 28 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 243.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 27 from 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 17 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2431.0
Deduct 9 from 17 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 9

On to step 6:
89 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 24319.0
If we subtract 81 from 89, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24319.8
Subtract 72 from 80 to 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24319.88
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

The quotient of the division is 24319.88, and the remainder is 0.008.
