- - Subtract 9 the 4th time. You have 50 left.

- - Subtract 9 the 5th time. You have 41 left.

- - Subtract 9 the 6th time. You have 32 left.

- - Subtract 9 the 7th time. You have 23 left.

- - Subtract 9 the 8th time. You have 14 left.

- - Subtract 9 the 9th time. You only have 5 left, so you can't subtract 9 again.

You subtracted it 9 times, and you have 5 left.

So 86 divided by 9 is (9 with remainder 5).
