We look at the division of 988403 by 18 
We want to divide 988403 by 18.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 18 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 18

On to step 2:
If we divide 98 by 18, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 90 from 98 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 18

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 18 fits into 88 4 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 72 away from 88, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
18 goes into 164 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 549.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 162 from 164.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
20 divided by 18 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5491.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
The number 18 fits into 23 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 54911.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 18 from 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
50 divided by 18 is 2 with a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54911.2
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 36 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
18 can be fit into 140 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54911.27
If we subtract 126 from 140, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 18 fits into 140 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54911.277
Subtract 126 from 140 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54911.277 with a balance of 0.0014.
