We're dividing 481040 by 9 
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 481040.

Step 1:
4 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 9, we get 5 and 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 (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 31 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 27 from 31, we get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 can be fit into 40 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 534.0
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 9

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 44 by 9, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5344.0
Subtracting 36 from 44 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 80 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 80 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 53448.0
If we subtract 72 from 80, we 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 80 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 53448.8
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53448.88
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.

After the division, we end up with 53448.88 and a remainder of 0.008.
