We're dividing 140487 by 81 
Let's see how many times 81 fits into 140487.

Going ahead to step 1:
81 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
14 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 81

On to step 3:
140 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 81 from 140.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 594 / 81

On to step 4:
If we divide 594 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 567 from 594 leaves us with 27.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 278 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 can be fit into 278 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 173.0
If we take 243 away from 278, we end up with 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 81

Moving on to step 6:
81 goes into 357 4 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1734.0
Subtracting 324 from 357 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 330 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1734.4
If we subtract 324 from 330, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1734.4
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
81 can be fit into 600 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1734.407
If we subtract 567 from 600, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 81 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1734.4074
If we subtract 324 from 330, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
81 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1734.4074
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
600 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1734.407407
If we subtract 567 from 600, we get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 330 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1734.4074074
Subtracting 324 from 330 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1734.4074074
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1734.4074074, with a leftover of 6e-08.
