We look at the division of 17978983 by 418 
Our goal is to divide 17978983 by 418.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 418, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 418

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 418, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 179 / 418

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 179 by 418, we get 0 and a remainder of 179.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 179 after subtracting 0 from 179.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 179 and continue: 1797 / 418

On to step 4:
418 can be fit into 1797 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 125.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 1672 from 1797 leaves us with 125.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 125, then repeat: 1258 / 418

Advancing to step 5:
418 goes into 1258 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 1254 from 1258 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 418

Step 6:
418 goes into 49 0 times with a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 430.0
If we subtract 0 from 49, we get 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 418

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 498 by 418, we get 1 and a remainder of 80.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4301.0
If we subtract 418 from 498, we get 80.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 80, then repeat: 803 / 418

Advancing to step 8:
418 goes into 803 1 times with a remainder of 385.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43011.0
If we take 418 away from 803, we end up with 385.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3850, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 3850 by 418, we get 9 and a remainder of 88.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43011.9
Subtracting 3762 from 3850 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
880 divided by 418 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43011.92
If we subtract 836 from 880, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 440 by 418, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43011.921
If we subtract 418 from 440, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 220 by 418, we get 0 and a remainder of 220.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43011.921
Deduct 0 from 220 and we're left with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
2200 divided by 418 is 5 with a remainder of 110.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43011.92105
Subtracting 2090 from 2200 leaves us with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 1100 by 418, we get 2 with a remainder of 264.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 43011.921052
Deduct 836 from 1100 and we're left with 264.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
If we divide 2640 by 418, we get 6 and a remainder of 132.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43011.9210526
If we subtract 2508 from 2640, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
1320 divided by 418 is 3 with a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43011.92105263
If we take 1254 away from 1320, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 43011.92105263 with a balance of 6.6e-08.
