18404 divided by 34 
We want to figure out the number of times 18404 can be divided by 34.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 34 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 34

Moving on to step 2:
34 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 184 / 34

Advancing to step 3:
184 divided by 34 is 5 with a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 170 from 184, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 34

Going ahead to step 4:
140 divided by 34 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 136 from 140, we get 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 34

Step 5:
The number 34 fits into 44 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 541.0
Deduct 34 from 44 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
100 divided by 34 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 541.2
If we subtract 68 from 100, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
320 divided by 34 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 541.29
Deduct 306 from 320 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 140 by 34, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 541.294
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 136 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
34 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 541.2941
Subtract 34 from 40 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 34, we get 1 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 541.29411
Subtracting 34 from 60 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 541.29411 with a balance of 2.6e-05.
