We're dividing 438497 by 18 
Our goal is to divide 438497 by 18.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 18, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 18

On to step 2:
43 divided by 18 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 36 from 43, we get 7.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 78 / 18

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 78 by 18, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
18 goes into 64 3 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 243.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 54 from 64.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 109 by 18, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2436.0
Subtract 108 from 109 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 18

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 18, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24360.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
170 divided by 18 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24360.9
If we subtract 162 from 170, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
18 goes into 80 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24360.94
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
80 divided by 18 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24360.944
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 24360.944, and the remainder is 0.0008.
