We're dividing 18256231 by 982 
Our goal is to divide 18256231 by 982.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 982, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 982

Let's proceed to step 2:
982 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 182 / 982

Let's proceed to step 3:
182 divided by 982 is 0 with a remainder of 182.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 182 after subtracting 0 from 182.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 182 and continue with: 1825 / 982

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 1825 by 982, we get 1 and a remainder of 843.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 982 from 1825 and we're left with 843.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 843 and continue with: 8436 / 982

Step 5:
When dividing 8436 by 982, we get 8 with a remainder of 580.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 7856 from 8436 leaves us with 580.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 580, then repeat: 5802 / 982

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 5802 by 982, we get 5 and a remainder of 892.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 185.0
The remainder is 892 after subtracting 4910 from 5802.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 892, then repeat: 8923 / 982

Let's proceed to step 7:
982 can be fit into 8923 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1859.0
Subtract 8838 from 8923 to get 85.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 85 and continue with: 851 / 982

Step 8:
If we divide 851 by 982, we get 0 and a remainder of 851.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18590.0
Subtracting 0 from 851 leaves us with 851.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 8510 by 982, we get 8 and a remainder of 654.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18590.8
Subtracting 7856 from 8510 leaves us with 654.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6540, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 6540 by 982, we get 6 and a remainder of 648.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18590.86
If we take 5892 away from 6540, we end up with 648.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 982 fits into 6480 6 times, leaving a remainder of 588.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18590.866
The remainder is 588 after subtracting 5892 from 6480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18590.866 with a balance of 0.0588.
