988967 ÷ 18 
We want to figure out the number of times 988967 can be divided by 18.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 18 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 18

Going ahead to step 2:
18 can be fit into 98 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 90 from 98, we get 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 88 by 18, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 72 from 88.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 18

Let's proceed to step 4:
18 can be fit into 169 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 549.0
Subtract 162 from 169 to get 7.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 18 fits into 76 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5494.0
Subtract 72 from 76 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
The number 18 fits into 47 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54942.0
Subtracting 36 from 47 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
18 goes into 110 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 54942.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 108 from 110.
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 8:
20 divided by 18 is 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 54942.61
Subtract 18 from 20 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 18, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54942.611
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 54942.611 with a balance of 0.0002.
