We look at the division of 146171 by 18 
We want to divide 146171 by 18.

On to step 1:
The number 18 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 18

Moving on to step 2:
18 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 146 / 18

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 146 by 18, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 144 away from 146, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 18 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtracting 18 from 21 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
18 goes into 37 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 812.0
Subtract 36 from 37 to get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 18

Step 6:
18 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8120.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
18 goes into 110 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8120.6
Subtracting 108 from 110 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
18 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8120.61
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
20 divided by 18 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8120.611
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8120.611 with a balance of 0.0002.
