Let's divide 438989 by 18
Our goal is to divide 438989 by 18.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 18

Moving 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 take 36 away from 43, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 18

Moving on to step 3:
The number 18 fits into 78 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 72 from 78 to get 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 18

Advancing to step 4:
The number 18 fits into 69 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 243.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 54 from 69.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
158 divided by 18 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2438.0
Subtracting 144 from 158 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
The number 18 fits into 149 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24388.0
If we subtract 144 from 149, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 50 by 18, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24388.2
Deduct 36 from 50 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
140 divided by 18 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24388.27
Subtracting 126 from 140 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 140 by 18, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 24388.277
If we take 126 away from 140, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 24388.277 with a balance of 0.0014.
