We divide 240 by 9
Our goal is to divide 240 by 9.

On to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 24 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 18 from 24 to get 6.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 60 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
60 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 54 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 4:
9 goes into 60 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.6
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 54 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 5:
9 can be fit into 60 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.66
Subtracting 54 from 60 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Our division results in 26.66 with a remaining 0.006.
