Let's divide 87484 by 18
We want to divide 87484 by 18.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 18 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 18

Step 2:
18 goes into 87 4 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 72 from 87, we get 15.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 154 / 18

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 goes into 154 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 144 from 154 to get 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 108 by 18, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 486.0
If we subtract 108 from 108, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
18 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4860.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
18 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4860.2
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
18 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4860.22
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4860.22 and a remainder of 0.004.
