We're dividing 654421 by 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 654421 can be divided by 9.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 65 by 9, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 63 from 65.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 9

On to step 3:
24 divided by 9 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 18 from 24 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 9

Step 4:
9 can be fit into 64 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 727.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 63 from 64.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 9

Step 5:
If we divide 12 by 9, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7271.0
Deduct 9 from 12 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
9 goes into 31 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72713.0
If we take 27 away from 31, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
9 goes into 40 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 72713.4
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 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 8:
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: 72713.44
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 72713.44, with a leftover of 0.004.
