We look at the division of 487371 by 9 
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 487371.

Advancing to step 1:
9 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 9

On to step 2:
48 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 45 away from 48, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 9

On to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 37 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 36 from 37.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 13 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 541.0
Subtracting 9 from 13 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 9

Step 5:
47 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5415.0
Deduct 45 from 47 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 9

On to step 6:
9 goes into 21 2 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54152.0
If we subtract 18 from 21, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
30 divided by 9 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54152.3
Deduct 27 from 30 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
9 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54152.33
If we subtract 27 from 30, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 54152.33, and the remainder is 0.003.
