We're dividing 986208 by 81 
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 986208.

Going ahead to step 1:
81 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 81

Step 2:
If we divide 98 by 81, we get 1 and a remainder of 17.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 81 from 98 and we're left with 17.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 176 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 176 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 162 from 176, we get 14.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 142 / 81

On to step 4:
The number 81 fits into 142 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 81 from 142 and we're left with 61.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 610 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 610 7 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1217.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 567 from 610.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 438 / 81

Moving on to step 6:
81 can be fit into 438 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12175.0
Subtracting 405 from 438 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 330 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12175.4
If we take 324 away from 330, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
60 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12175.4
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 81, we get 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12175.407
Subtract 567 from 600 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
330 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12175.4074
Subtract 324 from 330 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 11:
81 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12175.4074
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
81 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 33.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12175.407407
Subtracting 567 from 600 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
81 can be fit into 330 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12175.4074074
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 324 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
81 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12175.4074074
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 12175.4074074 with a remainder of 6e-08.
