To solve the equation \(-108 - (-18) - (-18) - (-18) - (-18) - (-18) - (-18) = 0\), let's first simplify the expression.

The equation can be rewritten as:

\[
-108 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 18 = 0
\]

Now, there are six instances of \(+18\). So we can calculate the total of those:

\[
18 \times 6 = 108
\]

Now, replace that back into the equation:

\[
-108 + 108 = 0
\]

This simplifies to \(0 = 0\), which is a true statement.

Thus, the result of the division modeled by this expression results in confirming that the calculations are correct and equate to zero. However, there was no explicit division operation defined in the expression provided; it simply results in validating that the calculations simplify correctly.
