We divide 1498 by 9
Our goal is to divide 1498 by 9.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 9

Step 2:
The number 9 fits into 14 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 9 from 14, we get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
9 goes into 59 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 54 from 59 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 9

On to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtracting 54 from 58 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 40 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 166.4
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.

Moving on to step 6:
40 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 166.44
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
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 166.44, with a leftover of 0.004.
