Let's divide 648973 by 9
We want to divide 648973 by 9.

Advancing to step 1:
6 divided by 9 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 64 / 9

On to step 2:
When dividing 64 by 9, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 63 from 64 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 9

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 18 by 9, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 9

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 9, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 721.0
Subtracting 9 from 9 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 9

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 9, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7210.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 9

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 73 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72108.0
Subtract 72 from 73 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 72108.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 10 by 9, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 72108.11
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 72108.11 with a remainder of 0.001.
