We look at the division of 18457464 by 985 
Our goal is to divide 18457464 by 985.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 985 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 985

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 985, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 18 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 985

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 985 fits into 184 0 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 184, we end up with 184.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 184, then repeat: 1845 / 985

Step 4:
985 can be fit into 1845 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 860.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 985 from 1845 leaves us with 860.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 860 and continue: 8607 / 985

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 985 fits into 8607 8 times, leaving a remainder of 727.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 7880 from 8607 leaves us with 727.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 727 and repeat the process: 7274 / 985

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 7274 by 985, we get 7 with a remainder of 379.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 187.0
The remainder is 379 after subtracting 6895 from 7274.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 379 and continue: 3796 / 985

On to step 7:
985 can be fit into 3796 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 841.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1873.0
Deduct 2955 from 3796 and we're left with 841.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 841 and repeat the process: 8414 / 985

Moving on to step 8:
985 can be fit into 8414 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 534.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18738.0
If we take 7880 away from 8414, we end up with 534.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
985 goes into 5340 5 times with a remainder of 415.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18738.5
Deduct 4925 from 5340 and we're left with 415.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4150, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 985 fits into 4150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 210.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18738.54
The remainder is 210 after subtracting 3940 from 4150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 985 fits into 2100 2 times, leaving a remainder of 130.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18738.542
If we subtract 1970 from 2100, we get 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 1300 by 985, we get 1 with a remainder of 315.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18738.5421
The remainder is 315 after subtracting 985 from 1300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
3150 divided by 985 is 3 with a remainder of 195.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18738.54213
Subtracting 2955 from 3150 leaves us with 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Step 14:
985 can be fit into 1950 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 965.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18738.542131
If we subtract 985 from 1950, we get 965.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9650, and continue the process.

Step 15:
If we divide 9650 by 985, we get 9 and a remainder of 785.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18738.5421319
The remainder is 785 after subtracting 8865 from 9650.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
7850 divided by 985 is 7 with a remainder of 955.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18738.54213197
If we take 6895 away from 7850, we end up with 955.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9550, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18738.54213197 with a balance of 9.55e-07.
