We divide 290178 by 81
We want to divide 290178 by 81.

Step 1:
81 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 81

Step 2:
The number 81 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 290 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 290 by 81, we get 3 and a remainder of 47.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 47 after subtracting 243 from 290.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 471 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
471 divided by 81 is 5 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 405 from 471 to get 66.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 667 / 81

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 667 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 19.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 358.0
If we take 648 away from 667, we end up with 19.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 81

On to step 6:
198 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3582.0
Subtract 162 from 198 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 7:
81 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3582.4
If we take 324 away from 360, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
81 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3582.44
Subtracting 324 from 360 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3582.44 and a remainder of 0.036.
