498489 ÷ 9 
We want to figure out the number of times 498489 can be divided by 9.

Step 1:
The number 9 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
The number 9 fits into 49 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 45 from 49.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 9

On to step 3:
9 can be fit into 48 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 45 from 48 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 34 by 9, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtracting 27 from 34 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 9

Step 5:
78 divided by 9 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5538.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 9

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 69 by 9, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55387.0
Subtract 63 from 69 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 9, we get 6 and a remainder of 6.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55387.6
If we subtract 54 from 60, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55387.66
If we take 54 away from 60, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 55387.66 with a balance of 0.006.
