Let's divide 240488 by 18
Our goal is to divide 240488 by 18.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 18, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 18 from 24 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
The number 18 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 54 from 60, we get 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 18

On to step 4:
18 can be fit into 64 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtracting 54 from 64 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 108 by 18, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1336.0
Subtracting 108 from 108 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 18

Step 6:
8 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13360.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 80 by 18, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13360.4
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 80 by 18, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 13360.44
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 13360.44 with a balance of 0.008.
