We divide 251048 by 81
We want to figure out the number of times 251048 can be divided by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
81 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
81 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 251 / 81

On to step 3:
When dividing 251 by 81, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 243 away from 251, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 80 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
81 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 804 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 804 by 81, we get 9 and a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 309.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 729 from 804.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 75, then repeat: 758 / 81

On to step 6:
758 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3099.0
If we subtract 729 from 758, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
290 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3099.3
If we take 243 away from 290, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 470 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3099.35
If we subtract 405 from 470, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 9:
81 can be fit into 650 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3099.358
Subtracting 648 from 650 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 20 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3099.358
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3099.35802
Subtracting 162 from 200 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
81 can be fit into 380 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3099.358024
Subtract 324 from 380 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3099.3580246
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 486 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 81 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3099.35802469
Deduct 729 from 740 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3099.35802469 and a remainder of 1.1e-08.
