We divide 211486 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 211486.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
9 goes into 21 2 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 18 from 21 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
9 goes into 31 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 27 from 31.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 44 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 234.0
If we subtract 36 from 44, we get 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 9

On to step 5:
88 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2349.0
If we take 81 away from 88, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
76 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23498.0
If we subtract 72 from 76, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 40 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23498.4
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 23498.44
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 23498.44 with a remaining 0.004.
