236542 ÷ 9 
We want to divide 236542 by 9.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 9

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 divided by 9 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 18 from 23, we get 5.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
56 divided by 9 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 54 from 56.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 9

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 9 fits into 25 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 262.0
Subtracting 18 from 25 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 9

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 74 by 9, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2628.0
Subtracting 72 from 74 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 9

On to step 6:
If we divide 22 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26282.0
Subtract 18 from 22 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 9, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 26282.4
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
9 goes into 40 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26282.44
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 26282.44 with a remaining 0.004.
