We divide 873946 by 9
We want to figure out the number of times 873946 can be divided by 9.

On to step 1:
9 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 9

Step 2:
9 can be fit into 87 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 81 from 87, we get 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 9

On to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 63 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97.0
Subtract 63 from 63 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
9 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 971.0
Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4 by 9, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9710.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
9 can be fit into 46 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97105.0
Subtracting 45 from 46 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
9 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 97105.1
If we take 9 away from 10, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
10 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 97105.11
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 97105.11, with a leftover of 0.001.
