Let's divide 231240 by 9
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 231240.

Step 1:
9 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
9 goes into 23 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 18 from 23 to get 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
9 goes into 51 5 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 45 from 51 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
9 goes into 62 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 256.0
Subtracting 54 from 62 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 84 by 9, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2569.0
Subtracting 81 from 84 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 30 / 9

Let's proceed to step 6:
9 can be fit into 30 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25693.0
Subtract 27 from 30 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 9, we get 3 and a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25693.3
If we subtract 27 from 30, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
30 divided by 9 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25693.33
Deduct 27 from 30 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 25693.33, and the remainder is 0.003.
