We're dividing 18990872 by 734 
We're looking to find how many times 734 goes into 18990872.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 734 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 734

On to step 2:
The number 734 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 189 / 734

Going ahead to step 3:
734 can be fit into 189 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 189.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 189 to get 189.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 189, then carry on: 1899 / 734

Step 4:
When dividing 1899 by 734, we get 2 with a remainder of 431.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 1468 from 1899, we get 431.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 431, then repeat: 4310 / 734

Advancing to step 5:
4310 divided by 734 is 5 with a remainder of 640.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtract 3670 from 4310 to get 640.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 640, then carry on: 6408 / 734

On to step 6:
If we divide 6408 by 734, we get 8 and a remainder of 536.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 258.0
Subtracting 5872 from 6408 leaves us with 536.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 536 and continue with: 5367 / 734

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 5367 by 734, we get 7 and a remainder of 229.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2587.0
The remainder is 229 after subtracting 5138 from 5367.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 229, then repeat: 2292 / 734

Moving on to step 8:
734 can be fit into 2292 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25873.0
Subtracting 2202 from 2292 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Step 9:
734 can be fit into 900 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 166.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25873.1
If we subtract 734 from 900, we get 166.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
734 can be fit into 1660 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 192.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25873.12
The remainder is 192 after subtracting 1468 from 1660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 1920 by 734, we get 2 with a remainder of 452.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25873.122
Subtract 1468 from 1920 to get 452.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4520, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25873.122 with a balance of 0.0452.
