We're dividing 870481 by 9 
We're looking to find how many times 9 goes into 870481.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 9 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
9 goes into 87 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 81 from 87 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 60 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
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: 96.0
If we take 54 away from 60, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
9 can be fit into 64 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 967.0
If we take 63 away from 64, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 9

Step 5:
18 divided by 9 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9672.0
Deduct 18 from 18 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 1 / 9

Let's proceed to step 6:
9 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 96720.0
Subtract 0 from 1 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 10 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 96720.1
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
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 8:
9 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 96720.11
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 result is 96720.11 with a remainder of 0.001.
