Let's divide 276842 by 18
We want to figure out the number of times 276842 can be divided by 18.

Let's proceed 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 18, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 18 from 27 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
The number 18 fits into 96 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtract 90 from 96 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 18

Moving on to step 4:
18 goes into 68 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 153.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 54 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 144 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
144 divided by 18 is 8 with a remainder of 0.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1538.0
If we subtract 144 from 144, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 18

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 2 by 18, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15380.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 18, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15380.1
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 18 from 20.
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 8:
18 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15380.11
Deduct 18 from 20 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 15380.11 and a remainder of 0.002.
