We look at the division of 976861 by 18 
Let's see how many times 18 fits into 976861.

Step 1:
18 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 18

Advancing to step 2:
97 divided by 18 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 90 from 97 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
76 divided by 18 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 72 from 76.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 18

Step 4:
When dividing 48 by 18, we get 2 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 542.0
If we subtract 36 from 48, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 126 / 18

On to step 5:
18 goes into 126 7 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5427.0
Subtracting 126 from 126 leaves us with 0.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 1 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
18 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54270.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 18 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54270.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
100 divided by 18 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54270.05
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
18 can be fit into 100 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54270.055
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 90 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 54270.055 with a balance of 0.001.
