We look at the division of 989879 by 18 
We want to figure out the number of times 989879 can be divided by 18.

On to step 1:
18 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 18

Moving on to step 2:
18 can be fit into 98 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 90 away from 98, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 18

Let's proceed to step 3:
18 can be fit into 89 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 72 from 89 to get 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 18

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 18 fits into 178 9 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 549.0
If we subtract 162 from 178, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 167 / 18

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 167 by 18, we get 9 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5499.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 162 from 167.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 59 by 18, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54993.0
Subtract 54 from 59 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 18, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 54993.2
Subtract 36 from 50 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 18 fits into 140 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54993.27
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 126 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
18 goes into 140 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54993.277
If we take 126 away from 140, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

The final result is 54993.277 with a remainder of 0.0014.
