We look at the division of 18720137 by 531 
Our goal is to divide 18720137 by 531.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 531 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 531

Step 2:
531 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 187 / 531

On to step 3:
531 goes into 187 0 times with a remainder of 187.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 187, we end up with 187.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 187, then repeat: 1872 / 531

Going ahead to step 4:
531 can be fit into 1872 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 279.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1593 from 1872 to get 279.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 279, then repeat: 2790 / 531

On to step 5:
531 can be fit into 2790 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 135.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 2655 from 2790 to get 135.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 135, then carry on: 1351 / 531

Moving on to step 6:
1351 divided by 531 is 2 with a remainder of 289.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 352.0
The remainder is 289 after subtracting 1062 from 1351.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 289 and continue with: 2893 / 531

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 2893 by 531, we get 5 with a remainder of 238.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3525.0
If we subtract 2655 from 2893, we get 238.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 238, then repeat: 2387 / 531

On to step 8:
531 can be fit into 2387 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 263.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35254.0
Subtract 2124 from 2387 to get 263.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2630, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
531 can be fit into 2630 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 506.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35254.4
Subtracting 2124 from 2630 leaves us with 506.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 5060 by 531, we get 9 with a remainder of 281.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35254.49
Subtracting 4779 from 5060 leaves us with 281.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2810, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
531 goes into 2810 5 times with a remainder of 155.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35254.495
If we take 2655 away from 2810, we end up with 155.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Step 12:
531 can be fit into 1550 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 488.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 35254.4952
Subtract 1062 from 1550 to get 488.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Step 13:
531 can be fit into 4880 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35254.49529
If we subtract 4779 from 4880, we get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 531 fits into 1010 1 times, leaving a remainder of 479.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35254.495291
The remainder is 479 after subtracting 531 from 1010.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4790, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
If we divide 4790 by 531, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35254.4952919
Subtracting 4779 from 4790 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
531 goes into 110 0 times with a remainder of 110.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35254.4952919
Deduct 0 from 110 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 35254.4952919 with a remaining 1.1e-07.
