108988 ÷ 18 
We want to figure out the number of times 108988 can be divided by 18.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 10 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 18 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 18

Moving on to step 3:
18 goes into 108 6 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 108 from 108.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
9 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 18

Step 5:
18 goes into 98 5 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 605.0
Deduct 90 from 98 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 88 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 88 by 18, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6054.0
Subtract 72 from 88 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
18 goes into 160 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6054.8
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
18 goes into 160 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6054.88
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6054.88 with a balance of 0.016.
