Let's divide 18987855 by 479
We want to divide 18987855 by 479.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 479 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 479

Step 2:
18 divided by 479 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 189 / 479

Moving on to step 3:
The number 479 fits into 189 0 times, leaving a remainder of 189.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 189, we end up with 189.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 189 and continue: 1898 / 479

On to step 4:
479 goes into 1898 3 times with a remainder of 461.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 1437 from 1898 leaves us with 461.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 461, then carry on: 4617 / 479

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 4617 by 479, we get 9 and a remainder of 306.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 4311 away from 4617, we end up with 306.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 306, then carry on: 3068 / 479

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 479 fits into 3068 6 times, leaving a remainder of 194.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 396.0
Deduct 2874 from 3068 and we're left with 194.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 194 and continue with: 1945 / 479

Going ahead to step 7:
479 goes into 1945 4 times with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3964.0
If we subtract 1916 from 1945, we get 29.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 295 / 479

Advancing to step 8:
The number 479 fits into 295 0 times, leaving a remainder of 295.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 39640.0
Subtract 0 from 295 to get 295.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2950, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
479 can be fit into 2950 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39640.6
Deduct 2874 from 2950 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 760 by 479, we get 1 and a remainder of 281.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39640.61
If we take 479 away from 760, we end up with 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2810, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 479 fits into 2810 5 times, leaving a remainder of 415.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39640.615
If we take 2395 away from 2810, we end up with 415.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
4150 divided by 479 is 8 with a remainder of 318.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 39640.6158
If we take 3832 away from 4150, we end up with 318.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
479 can be fit into 3180 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 306.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39640.61586
Deduct 2874 from 3180 and we're left with 306.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
479 goes into 3060 6 times with a remainder of 186.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39640.615866
If we subtract 2874 from 3060, we get 186.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1860, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 39640.615866 and a remainder of 1.86e-05.
