We're dividing 18856583 by 731 
Let's see how many times 731 fits into 18856583.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 731

Moving on to step 2:
18 divided by 731 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 0 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 731

Step 3:
When dividing 188 by 731, we get 0 with a remainder of 188.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 188 to get 188.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 188, then carry on: 1885 / 731

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 1885 by 731, we get 2 and a remainder of 423.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 423 after subtracting 1462 from 1885.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 423, then repeat: 4236 / 731

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 4236 by 731, we get 5 and a remainder of 581.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 3655 away from 4236, we end up with 581.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 581 and continue with: 5815 / 731

Let's proceed to step 6:
731 goes into 5815 7 times with a remainder of 698.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257.0
The remainder is 698 after subtracting 5117 from 5815.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 698, then carry on: 6988 / 731

Going ahead to step 7:
731 can be fit into 6988 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 409.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2579.0
If we take 6579 away from 6988, we end up with 409.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 409, then repeat: 4093 / 731

Moving on to step 8:
731 goes into 4093 5 times with a remainder of 438.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25795.0
Subtract 3655 from 4093 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.

Step 9:
731 goes into 4380 5 times with a remainder of 725.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25795.5
Subtracting 3655 from 4380 leaves us with 725.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 731 fits into 7250 9 times, leaving a remainder of 671.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25795.59
The remainder is 671 after subtracting 6579 from 7250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
731 can be fit into 6710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 131.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25795.599
If we take 6579 away from 6710, we end up with 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 25795.599, and the remainder is 0.0131.
