We're dividing 218536 by 18 
We want to divide 218536 by 18.

Moving on to step 1:
18 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 18

Step 2:
18 goes into 21 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 18 away from 21, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 18

On to step 3:
18 goes into 38 2 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 18

On to step 4:
18 can be fit into 25 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 18 from 25 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 18

Moving on to step 5:
18 goes into 73 4 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1214.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 72 from 73.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 18

Going ahead to step 6:
18 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12140.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 18, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12140.8
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 18, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12140.88
If we take 144 away from 160, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12140.88 with a remaining 0.016.
