286401 divided by 18 
We want to divide 286401 by 18.

On to step 1:
The number 18 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 can be fit into 28 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 18 from 28 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 106 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
18 can be fit into 106 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 90 from 106.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 164 / 18

Advancing to step 4:
18 can be fit into 164 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 162 from 164, we get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 18

Step 5:
When dividing 20 by 18, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1591.0
If we subtract 18 from 20, we get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 18

Step 6:
When dividing 21 by 18, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15911.0
Subtract 18 from 21 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
18 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15911.1
Deduct 18 from 30 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
120 divided by 18 is 6 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15911.16
If we subtract 108 from 120, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
18 goes into 120 6 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15911.166
Deduct 108 from 120 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 15911.166 with a balance of 0.0012.
