494246 ÷ 18 
Let's see how many times 18 fits into 494246.

Going ahead to step 1:
18 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 goes into 49 2 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 36 from 49.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 134 / 18

Step 3:
When dividing 134 by 18, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 126 away from 134, we end up with 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 18

On to step 4:
18 can be fit into 82 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 72 from 82.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 104 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 104 by 18, we get 5 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2745.0
If we subtract 90 from 104, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 146 / 18

Step 6:
When dividing 146 by 18, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27458.0
If we take 144 away from 146, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 18, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27458.1
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 8:
18 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27458.11
Subtracting 18 from 20 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 27458.11 with a balance of 0.002.
