We look at the division of 978948 by 18 
Our goal is to divide 978948 by 18.

Step 1:
The number 18 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 18

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 18, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 18

Step 3:
The number 18 fits into 78 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 72 from 78, we get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 18

On to step 4:
18 goes into 69 3 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 543.0
Subtracting 54 from 69 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 154 / 18

Step 5:
18 can be fit into 154 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5438.0
Subtracting 144 from 154 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 18

Moving on to step 6:
18 can be fit into 108 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54386.0
Deduct 108 from 108 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
0 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54386.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
18 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54386.0
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.

The quotient of the division is 54386.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
