Let's divide 471686 by 9
We want to figure out the number of times 471686 can be divided by 9.

Step 1:
4 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 9

On to step 2:
47 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 45 from 47 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
21 divided by 9 is 2 with a remainder of 3.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 18 from 21 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 36 / 9

Step 4:
The number 9 fits into 36 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 524.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 36 from 36.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 8 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5240.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 86 by 9, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 52409.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 81 from 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
50 divided by 9 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52409.5
Deduct 45 from 50 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
9 can be fit into 50 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 52409.55
Deduct 45 from 50 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 52409.55 with a remaining 0.005.
