Let's divide 385742 by 81
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 385742.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 38 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 385 / 81

On to step 3:
81 goes into 385 4 times with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 324 from 385.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 81

Step 4:
The number 81 fits into 617 7 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 567 from 617 and we're left with 50.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 504 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 goes into 504 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 476.0
Subtracting 486 from 504 leaves us with 18.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 182 / 81

Going ahead to step 6:
81 can be fit into 182 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4762.0
Subtracting 162 from 182 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4762.2
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 162 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 81 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4762.24
Subtract 324 from 380 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
81 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4762.246
If we take 486 away from 560, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
81 goes into 740 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4762.2469
Subtract 729 from 740 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
110 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4762.24691
Subtract 81 from 110 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
81 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4762.246913
Deduct 243 from 290 and we're left with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
81 goes into 470 5 times with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4762.2469135
Subtracting 405 from 470 leaves us with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
81 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4762.24691358
Deduct 648 from 650 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4762.24691358 and a remainder of 2e-09.
