Let's divide 284873 by 9
We want to figure out the number of times 284873 can be divided by 9.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 9

On to step 2:
9 can be fit into 28 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
9 can be fit into 14 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 9 from 14 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 9

Step 4:
The number 9 fits into 58 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 316.0
Subtract 54 from 58 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
9 goes into 47 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3165.0
If we subtract 45 from 47, we get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
9 goes into 23 2 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31652.0
If we take 18 away from 23, we end up 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:
If we divide 50 by 9, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31652.5
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 9 fits into 50 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31652.55
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.

After the division, we end up with 31652.55 and a remainder of 0.005.
