262958 ÷ 81 
We want to divide 262958 by 81.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 81

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 262 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
81 goes into 262 3 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 243 from 262, we get 19.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 199 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
81 goes into 199 2 times with a remainder of 37.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 162 away from 199, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 375 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 375 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 324.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 324 from 375.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 51, then carry on: 518 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
518 divided by 81 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3246.0
Subtract 486 from 518 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 81 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3246.3
If we take 243 away from 320, we end up with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 770 by 81, we get 9 and a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3246.39
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 729 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
81 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3246.395
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 405 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 50 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3246.395
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
81 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3246.39506
Subtract 486 from 500 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.

On to step 12:
81 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3246.395061
If we take 81 away from 140, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
81 goes into 590 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3246.3950617
Subtracting 567 from 590 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
230 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3246.39506172
Subtract 162 from 230 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3246.39506172 and a remainder of 6.8e-08.
