We're dividing 478268 by 9 
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 478268.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
47 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 45 from 47, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 9

Step 3:
If we divide 28 by 9, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we take 27 away from 28, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 9

Step 4:
9 goes into 12 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 531.0
Subtracting 9 from 12 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 36 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
9 can be fit into 36 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5314.0
Subtract 36 from 36 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 9

Let's proceed to step 6:
9 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53140.0
Subtract 0 from 8 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.

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: 53140.8
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 80 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53140.88
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.

The final outcome is 53140.88, with a leftover of 0.008.
