We divide 296856 by 81
Our goal is to divide 296856 by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
29 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 29 to get 29.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 296 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
296 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 53.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 243 away from 296, we end up with 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 538 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 538 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 486 from 538 to get 52.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 525 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 525 by 81, we get 6 and a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 366.0
Subtracting 486 from 525 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 396 / 81

Step 6:
396 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3664.0
If we take 324 away from 396, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
720 divided by 81 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3664.8
Deduct 648 from 720 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
81 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3664.88
If we subtract 648 from 720, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3664.88, and the remainder is 0.072.
