Let's divide 18702731 by 457
We're looking to find how many times 457 goes into 18702731.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 457 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 457

Step 2:
457 can be fit into 18 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 18, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 457

Going ahead to step 3:
457 can be fit into 187 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 187.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 187, we end up with 187.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 187 and repeat the process: 1870 / 457

Moving on to step 4:
457 goes into 1870 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 1828 from 1870 to get 42.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 422 / 457

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 422 by 457, we get 0 with a remainder of 422.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 422 and we're left with 422.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 422 and repeat the process: 4227 / 457

Step 6:
If we divide 4227 by 457, we get 9 and a remainder of 114.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 409.0
If we take 4113 away from 4227, we end up with 114.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 114, then repeat: 1143 / 457

Advancing to step 7:
1143 divided by 457 is 2 with a remainder of 229.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4092.0
Subtracting 914 from 1143 leaves us with 229.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 229 and continue: 2291 / 457

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 2291 by 457, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 40925.0
Deduct 2285 from 2291 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 60 by 457, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40925.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 600 by 457, we get 1 with a remainder of 143.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40925.01
Subtract 457 from 600 to get 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 1430 by 457, we get 3 and a remainder of 59.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40925.013
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 1371 from 1430.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
457 can be fit into 590 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 133.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40925.0131
Deduct 457 from 590 and we're left with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 457 fits into 1330 2 times, leaving a remainder of 416.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40925.01312
Subtracting 914 from 1330 leaves us with 416.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
4160 divided by 457 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40925.013129
If we take 4113 away from 4160, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 15:
457 can be fit into 470 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40925.0131291
Subtracting 457 from 470 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
130 divided by 457 is 0 with a remainder of 130.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40925.0131291
Subtracting 0 from 130 leaves us with 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 40925.0131291 and a remainder of 1.3e-07.
