We look at the division of 417542 by 9 
We want to divide 417542 by 9.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 41 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 41 by 9, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 36 from 41 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 9

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 9 fits into 57 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtract 54 from 57 to get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 9

On to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 35 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 463.0
Subtracting 27 from 35 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 84 / 9

Advancing to step 5:
84 divided by 9 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4639.0
If we take 81 away from 84, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 32 / 9

On to step 6:
When dividing 32 by 9, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46393.0
Subtracting 27 from 32 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 50 by 9, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46393.5
If we subtract 45 from 50, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 50 by 9, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46393.55
Subtract 45 from 50 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 46393.55, with a leftover of 0.005.
