We divide 655988 by 9
Our goal is to divide 655988 by 9.

On to step 1:
9 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 9

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 65 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 63 from 65 to get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 9

On to step 3:
9 can be fit into 25 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we subtract 18 from 25, we get 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 9

Step 4:
9 can be fit into 79 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 728.0
Subtract 72 from 79 to get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 9

On to step 5:
When dividing 78 by 9, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7288.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 72 from 78.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
9 can be fit into 68 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72887.0
Subtracting 63 from 68 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 72887.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 45 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72887.55
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 72887.55 with a balance of 0.005.
