18006309 ÷ 462 
We want to divide 18006309 by 462.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 462, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 462

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 18 by 462, we get 0 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 180 / 462

Moving on to step 3:
180 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 180.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 180 after subtracting 0 from 180.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 180 and continue: 1800 / 462

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 1800 by 462, we get 3 and a remainder of 414.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 1386 from 1800 to get 414.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 414, then repeat: 4146 / 462

Going ahead to step 5:
4146 divided by 462 is 8 with a remainder of 450.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 3696 from 4146, we get 450.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 450 and continue with: 4503 / 462

Moving on to step 6:
The number 462 fits into 4503 9 times, leaving a remainder of 345.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 389.0
Subtract 4158 from 4503 to get 345.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 345 and continue: 3450 / 462

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 3450 by 462, we get 7 with a remainder of 216.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3897.0
If we take 3234 away from 3450, we end up with 216.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 216, then carry on: 2169 / 462

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 2169 by 462, we get 4 and a remainder of 321.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38974.0
Subtracting 1848 from 2169 leaves us with 321.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
3210 divided by 462 is 6 with a remainder of 438.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 38974.6
The remainder is 438 after subtracting 2772 from 3210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
462 goes into 4380 9 times with a remainder of 222.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38974.69
The remainder is 222 after subtracting 4158 from 4380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
462 can be fit into 2220 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 372.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38974.694
Subtracting 1848 from 2220 leaves us with 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3720, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
462 goes into 3720 8 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38974.6948
If we subtract 3696 from 3720, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
240 divided by 462 is 0 with a remainder of 240.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38974.6948
Subtracting 0 from 240 leaves us with 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
2400 divided by 462 is 5 with a remainder of 90.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38974.694805
If we take 2310 away from 2400, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 462 fits into 900 1 times, leaving a remainder of 438.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38974.6948051
Subtract 462 from 900 to get 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
462 can be fit into 4380 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 222.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38974.69480519
If we take 4158 away from 4380, we end up with 222.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2220, and continue the process.

The final result is 38974.69480519 with a remainder of 2.22e-07.
