Let's divide 212381 by 81
We want to divide 212381 by 81.

Let's proceed 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
81 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 212 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
81 goes into 212 2 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 162 from 212, we get 50.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 503 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 503 by 81, we get 6 and a remainder of 17.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 486 from 503.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
178 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 262.0
Deduct 162 from 178 and we're left with 16.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 161 / 81

Going ahead to step 6:
81 can be fit into 161 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2621.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 81 from 161.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
81 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 71.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2621.9
Subtract 729 from 800 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
81 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2621.98
If we subtract 648 from 710, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
620 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2621.987
Subtracting 567 from 620 leaves us with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
81 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2621.9876
If we take 486 away from 530, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
81 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2621.98765
Subtracting 405 from 440 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 350 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2621.987654
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 324 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
260 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2621.9876543
Subtracting 243 from 260 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 170 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2621.98765432
If we take 162 away from 170, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 2621.98765432 with a remainder of 8e-09.
