We divide 517473 by 18
We want to divide 517473 by 18.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 51 / 18

Step 2:
The number 18 fits into 51 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 36 away from 51, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 157 / 18

On to step 3:
18 goes into 157 8 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 144 from 157, we get 13.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 134 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
18 goes into 134 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 287.0
Subtracting 126 from 134 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 18

Step 5:
87 divided by 18 is 4 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2874.0
Subtract 72 from 87 to get 15.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 153 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 153 by 18, we get 8 with a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28748.0
If we subtract 144 from 153, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
18 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28748.5
Subtract 90 from 90 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
18 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28748.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 18 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28748.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 28748.5 with a balance of 0.0.
