We divide 742466 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 742466.

Step 1:
9 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
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: 82.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 18 from 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 44 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 824.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 36 from 44.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 86 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
86 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8249.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 81 from 86.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 56 by 9, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82496.0
Subtract 54 from 56 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82496.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 9, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 82496.22
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 82496.22 with a balance of 0.002.
