18144539 ÷ 501 
Our goal is to divide 18144539 by 501.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 501, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 501

Going ahead to step 2:
18 divided by 501 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 181 / 501

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 181 by 501, we get 0 and a remainder of 181.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 181 after subtracting 0 from 181.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 181 and repeat the process: 1814 / 501

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 1814 by 501, we get 3 and a remainder of 311.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 1503 away from 1814, we end up with 311.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 311, then carry on: 3114 / 501

Advancing to step 5:
501 can be fit into 3114 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 108.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 3006 from 3114 to get 108.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 108 and repeat the process: 1085 / 501

Going ahead to step 6:
1085 divided by 501 is 2 with a remainder of 83.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 362.0
Deduct 1002 from 1085 and we're left with 83.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 83, then repeat: 833 / 501

Let's proceed to step 7:
501 goes into 833 1 times with a remainder of 332.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3621.0
The remainder is 332 after subtracting 501 from 833.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 332 and continue with: 3329 / 501

Advancing to step 8:
3329 divided by 501 is 6 with a remainder of 323.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36216.0
If we subtract 3006 from 3329, we get 323.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3230, and continue the process.

Step 9:
3230 divided by 501 is 6 with a remainder of 224.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36216.6
Subtracting 3006 from 3230 leaves us with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 501 fits into 2240 4 times, leaving a remainder of 236.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36216.64
If we subtract 2004 from 2240, we get 236.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
501 can be fit into 2360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 356.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36216.644
Subtracting 2004 from 2360 leaves us with 356.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3560, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 36216.644 and a remainder of 0.0356.
