We look at the division of 746857 by 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 746857 can be divided by 9.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 9

On to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 74 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 72 from 74, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 9

Step 3:
If we divide 26 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtracting 18 from 26 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 9

Step 4:
The number 9 fits into 88 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 829.0
Deduct 81 from 88 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 9

Step 5:
9 can be fit into 75 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8298.0
If we subtract 72 from 75, we get 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
9 can be fit into 37 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82984.0
Subtracting 36 from 37 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
9 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 82984.1
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.

Advancing to step 8:
10 divided by 9 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 82984.11
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 quotient of the division is 82984.11, and the remainder is 0.001.
