252701 divided by 18 
We want to divide 252701 by 18.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 18, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 18

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 18, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 18 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 18

Going ahead to step 3:
18 can be fit into 72 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 72 away from 72, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 18

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 7 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 70 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
18 goes into 70 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1403.0
Deduct 54 from 70 and we're left with 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 18

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 18 fits into 161 8 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14038.0
Deduct 144 from 161 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
170 divided by 18 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14038.9
Subtract 162 from 170 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.

Advancing to step 8:
18 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14038.94
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 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 9:
When dividing 80 by 18, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14038.944
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 14038.944 with a balance of 0.0008.
