We're dividing 2986711 by 18 
We want to divide 2986711 by 18.

Let's proceed to step 1:
18 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 18

On to step 2:
18 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 18 from 29 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 18

On to step 3:
If we divide 118 by 18, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 108 from 118.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 106 / 18

Step 4:
18 goes into 106 5 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 165.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 90 from 106.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
18 can be fit into 167 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1659.0
If we subtract 162 from 167, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 18

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 51 by 18, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16592.0
Subtracting 36 from 51 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 151 / 18

Step 7:
If we divide 151 by 18, we get 8 and a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165928.0
If we subtract 144 from 151, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 70 by 18, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165928.3
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 54 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
18 goes into 160 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 165928.38
Deduct 144 from 160 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 18 fits into 160 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 165928.388
Subtract 144 from 160 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 165928.388 and a remainder of 0.0016.
