We divide 288638 by 18
Let's see how many times 18 fits into 288638.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 18

Going ahead to step 2:
18 goes into 28 1 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 18 from 28 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 18

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 108 by 18, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 108 from 108 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 6 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 18 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 160.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 63 by 18, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1603.0
Subtract 54 from 63 to get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 18

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 18 fits into 98 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16035.0
If we subtract 90 from 98, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
18 can be fit into 80 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16035.4
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 18, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16035.44
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 16035.44 with a remainder of 0.008.
