We divide 542608 by 81
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 542608.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 81

On to step 2:
The number 81 fits into 54 0 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 542 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 542 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 486 from 542 leaves us with 56.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 566 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 566 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
Deduct 486 from 566 and we're left with 80.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 80, then repeat: 800 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 800 by 81, we get 9 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 669.0
If we take 729 away from 800, we end up with 71.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 718 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
81 goes into 718 8 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6698.0
If we take 648 away from 718, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 700 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6698.8
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 648 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
81 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6698.86
Subtracting 486 from 520 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
81 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6698.864
Deduct 324 from 340 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 81, we get 1 with a remainder of 79.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6698.8641
If we take 81 away from 160, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 790 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6698.86419
Subtracting 729 from 790 leaves us with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
81 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6698.864197
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 567 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
81 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 6698.8641975
If we subtract 405 from 430, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
250 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6698.86419753
If we take 243 away from 250, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6698.86419753, and the remainder is 7e-09.
