We divide 261442 by 18
We want to figure out the number of times 261442 can be divided by 18.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 18

On to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 18, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 18 from 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 81 / 18

Advancing to step 3:
18 goes into 81 4 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we subtract 72 from 81, we get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 18

Step 4:
If we divide 94 by 18, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtracting 90 from 94 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 18

Advancing to step 5:
18 can be fit into 44 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1452.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 36 from 44.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 18

Step 6:
If we divide 82 by 18, we get 4 and a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14524.0
Subtracting 72 from 82 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 100 by 18, we get 5 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 14524.5
If we subtract 90 from 100, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
18 goes into 100 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14524.55
Subtracting 90 from 100 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 14524.55 and a remainder of 0.01.
