We look at the division of 722142 by 81 
Our goal is to divide 722142 by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
81 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
72 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 722 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 722 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 74.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 648 from 722 to get 74.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 741 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
741 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtract 729 from 741 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 can be fit into 124 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 891.0
Subtracting 81 from 124 leaves us with 43.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 432 / 81

On to step 6:
81 goes into 432 5 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8915.0
If we take 405 away from 432, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
81 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8915.3
If we take 243 away from 270, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 8:
81 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8915.33
Deduct 243 from 270 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

The final result is 8915.33 with a remainder of 0.027.
