Let's divide 978941 by 18
We want to figure out the number of times 978941 can be divided by 18.

Advancing to step 1:
18 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 18 fits into 97 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 90 from 97.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 18

Step 3:
18 goes into 78 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 72 from 78, we get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 18

On to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 18, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 543.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 54 from 69.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 18

Step 5:
154 divided by 18 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5438.0
Subtracting 144 from 154 leaves us with 10.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 101 / 18

Step 6:
If we divide 101 by 18, we get 5 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 54385.0
If we subtract 90 from 101, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 18, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54385.6
Subtracting 108 from 110 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
18 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54385.61
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 18, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54385.611
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54385.611 with a balance of 0.0002.
