Let's divide 562981 by 9
Our goal is to divide 562981 by 9.

On to step 1:
9 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 9

Step 2:
9 can be fit into 56 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 54 from 56 to get 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 9

Moving on to step 3:
9 goes into 22 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 18 from 22, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 9

Let's proceed to step 4:
9 goes into 49 5 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 625.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 45 from 49.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 9

Step 5:
If we divide 48 by 9, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6255.0
Subtract 45 from 48 to get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 9

Moving on to step 6:
The number 9 fits into 31 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 62553.0
If we subtract 27 from 31, we 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.

Step 7:
40 divided by 9 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62553.4
If we subtract 36 from 40, we 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.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62553.44
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 62553.44 with a remaining 0.004.
