254785 divided by 18 
We're looking to find how many times 18 goes into 254785.

Going ahead to step 1:
18 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 18

Going ahead to step 2:
18 can be fit into 25 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 18 from 25 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
18 can be fit into 74 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 72 from 74.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 18

Step 4:
18 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 141.0
Deduct 18 from 27 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
The number 18 fits into 98 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1415.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 90 from 98.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 18

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 85 by 18, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14154.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 72 from 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 130 by 18, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14154.7
Subtract 126 from 130 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 18, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14154.72
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
40 divided by 18 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14154.722
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 14154.722 with a remainder of 0.0004.
