Let's divide 856984 by 18
Let's see how many times 18 fits into 856984.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 18

On to step 2:
The number 18 fits into 85 4 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 72 away from 85, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 136 / 18

Step 3:
The number 18 fits into 136 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we take 126 away from 136, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 18

Moving on to step 4:
18 can be fit into 109 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 476.0
Deduct 108 from 109 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 18

On to step 5:
The number 18 fits into 18 1 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4761.0
If we subtract 18 from 18, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 4 / 18

On to step 6:
18 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47610.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
40 divided by 18 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47610.2
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 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.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47610.22
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 47610.22 with a balance of 0.004.
