Let's divide 18687927 by 442
We want to divide 18687927 by 442.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 442, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 442

Let's proceed to step 2:
442 goes into 18 0 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 442

Step 3:
When dividing 186 by 442, we get 0 with a remainder of 186.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 186 to get 186.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 186, then carry on: 1868 / 442

Moving on to step 4:
The number 442 fits into 1868 4 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 100 after subtracting 1768 from 1868.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 100 and continue: 1007 / 442

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 1007 by 442, we get 2 and a remainder of 123.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we subtract 884 from 1007, we get 123.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 123, then repeat: 1239 / 442

On to step 6:
When dividing 1239 by 442, we get 2 with a remainder of 355.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 422.0
Subtract 884 from 1239 to get 355.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 355 and continue: 3552 / 442

Let's proceed to step 7:
442 goes into 3552 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4228.0
If we subtract 3536 from 3552, we get 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 442

Moving on to step 8:
The number 442 fits into 167 0 times, leaving a remainder of 167.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42280.0
If we take 0 away from 167, we end up with 167.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 442 fits into 1670 3 times, leaving a remainder of 344.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42280.3
Subtracting 1326 from 1670 leaves us with 344.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 3440 by 442, we get 7 with a remainder of 346.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42280.37
If we take 3094 away from 3440, we end up with 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 442 fits into 3460 7 times, leaving a remainder of 366.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 42280.377
Deduct 3094 from 3460 and we're left with 366.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 42280.377 with a balance of 0.0366.
