We look at the division of 996889 by 18 
Let's see how many times 18 fits into 996889.

Advancing to step 1:
18 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 goes into 99 5 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 90 from 99 to get 9.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 96 / 18

On to step 3:
18 can be fit into 96 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 90 away from 96, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 18

Step 4:
18 goes into 68 3 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 54 from 68.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 18

On to step 5:
If we divide 148 by 18, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5538.0
Subtracting 144 from 148 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 18

Moving on to step 6:
18 goes into 49 2 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55382.0
Deduct 36 from 49 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 18, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55382.7
Deduct 126 from 130 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
18 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55382.72
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
18 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55382.722
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 55382.722 with a remaining 0.0004.
