Let's divide 551877 by 9
We want to figure out the number of times 551877 can be divided by 9.

On to step 1:
9 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
55 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 54 away from 55, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 11 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 9 from 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 goes into 28 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 613.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
17 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6131.0
Deduct 9 from 17 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 87 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61319.0
If we subtract 81 from 87, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 60 by 9, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61319.6
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
9 can be fit into 60 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 61319.66
If we subtract 54 from 60, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final result is 61319.66 with a remainder of 0.006.
