We're dividing 478724 by 81 
We want to divide 478724 by 81.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 81

Step 2:
When dividing 47 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 47, we end up with 47.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 478 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
81 can be fit into 478 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 405 from 478 leaves us with 73.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 737 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
737 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtract 729 from 737 to get 8.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 81

Step 5:
The number 81 fits into 82 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 591.0
Deduct 81 from 82 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 81

Let's proceed to step 6:
14 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5910.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 81 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5910.1
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 81 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 590 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5910.17
Deduct 567 from 590 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 68.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5910.172
If we take 162 away from 230, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
81 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5910.1728
Deduct 648 from 680 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
320 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5910.17283
Deduct 243 from 320 and we're left 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 12:
81 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5910.172839
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.

Step 13:
81 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5910.1728395
Subtracting 405 from 410 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
50 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5910.1728395
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5910.1728395, with a leftover of 5e-08.
