We're dividing 18879572 by 871 
Let's see how many times 871 fits into 18879572.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 871, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 871

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 871, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 871

On to step 3:
If we divide 188 by 871, we get 0 and a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 188 to get 188.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 188 and continue: 1887 / 871

Going ahead to step 4:
871 goes into 1887 2 times with a remainder of 145.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1742 from 1887, we get 145.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 145, then repeat: 1459 / 871

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 871 fits into 1459 1 times, leaving a remainder of 588.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Deduct 871 from 1459 and we're left with 588.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 588 and continue with: 5885 / 871

Step 6:
871 goes into 5885 6 times with a remainder of 659.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 216.0
If we subtract 5226 from 5885, we get 659.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 659 and continue with: 6597 / 871

Advancing to step 7:
871 can be fit into 6597 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 500.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2167.0
The remainder is 500 after subtracting 6097 from 6597.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 500 and continue: 5002 / 871

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 871 fits into 5002 5 times, leaving a remainder of 647.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21675.0
If we subtract 4355 from 5002, we get 647.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
871 can be fit into 6470 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 373.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 21675.7
If we take 6097 away from 6470, we end up with 373.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
871 can be fit into 3730 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 246.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21675.74
Subtract 3484 from 3730 to get 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 871 fits into 2460 2 times, leaving a remainder of 718.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21675.742
Deduct 1742 from 2460 and we're left with 718.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7180, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 7180 by 871, we get 8 with a remainder of 212.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21675.7428
The remainder is 212 after subtracting 6968 from 7180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
871 goes into 2120 2 times with a remainder of 378.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21675.74282
The remainder is 378 after subtracting 1742 from 2120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3780, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 871 fits into 3780 4 times, leaving a remainder of 296.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21675.742824
Subtract 3484 from 3780 to get 296.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2960, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
2960 divided by 871 is 3 with a remainder of 347.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21675.7428243
Subtracting 2613 from 2960 leaves us with 347.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
When dividing 3470 by 871, we get 3 with a remainder of 857.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21675.74282433
Subtract 2613 from 3470 to get 857.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8570, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21675.74282433 with a balance of 8.57e-07.
