We look at the division of 488870 by 18 
Our goal is to divide 488870 by 18.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 18

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 18, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 36 away from 48, we end up with 12.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 128 / 18

Going ahead to step 3:
18 can be fit into 128 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 126 from 128 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 18

Step 4:
18 can be fit into 28 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 271.0
If we subtract 18 from 28, we get 10.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 107 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 107 by 18, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2715.0
Deduct 90 from 107 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 170 / 18

Moving on to step 6:
170 divided by 18 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27159.0
Subtracting 162 from 170 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
18 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27159.4
If we take 72 away from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
80 divided by 18 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27159.44
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 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 27159.44 with a balance of 0.008.
