We divide 217900 by 9
Let's see how many times 9 fits into 217900.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 9

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 18 from 21 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 9

Advancing to step 3:
9 goes into 37 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 36 from 37, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
9 can be fit into 19 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 242.0
Subtract 18 from 19 to get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
9 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2421.0
Subtracting 9 from 10 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 9

On to step 6:
9 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24211.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 9 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
9 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24211.1
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.

Step 8:
9 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24211.11
If we subtract 9 from 10, we 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.

After the division, we end up with 24211.11 and a remainder of 0.001.
