252865 divided by 18 
We're looking to find how many times 18 goes into 252865.

Let's proceed to step 1:
18 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 18

Advancing to step 2:
18 can be fit into 25 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 18 away from 25, we end up with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 18

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 18 fits into 72 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 72 from 72, we get 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 18

On to step 4:
18 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 140.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 86 / 18

On to step 5:
18 can be fit into 86 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1404.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 72 from 86.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 145 / 18

Let's proceed to step 6:
18 can be fit into 145 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14048.0
Subtracting 144 from 145 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14048.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 18, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14048.05
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
100 divided by 18 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14048.055
If we subtract 90 from 100, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 14048.055 with a remainder of 0.001.
