We divide 218973 by 81
Our goal is to divide 218973 by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 81

Step 2:
The number 81 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 218 / 81

On to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 162 from 218 to get 56.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 56 and continue: 569 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 569 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 567 from 569 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 270.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 273 / 81

On to step 6:
81 goes into 273 3 times with a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2703.0
Subtracting 243 from 273 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 81 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2703.3
Deduct 243 from 300 and we're left with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 570 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2703.37
Subtracting 567 from 570 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
30 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2703.37
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 300 by 81, we get 3 and a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2703.3703
Subtracting 243 from 300 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 81 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2703.37037
If we take 567 away from 570, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 30 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2703.37037
Subtracting 0 from 30 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
300 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 57.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2703.3703703
Subtracting 243 from 300 leaves us with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 81 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2703.37037037
If we take 567 away from 570, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

The final result is 2703.37037037 with a remainder of 3e-09.
