We're dividing 997874 by 81 
We want to figure out the number of times 997874 can be divided by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
81 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 81

Step 2:
If we divide 99 by 81, we get 1 and a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 81 away from 99, we end up with 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 187 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
81 goes into 187 2 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 162 away from 187, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 258 / 81

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 81 fits into 258 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we take 243 away from 258, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 goes into 157 1 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1231.0
If we take 81 away from 157, we end up with 76.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 764 / 81

Moving on to step 6:
The number 81 fits into 764 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12319.0
Deduct 729 from 764 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
350 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12319.4
Deduct 324 from 350 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 260 by 81, we get 3 with a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12319.43
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 243 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
170 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12319.432
If we subtract 162 from 170, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 80 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12319.432
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
81 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 71.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12319.43209
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 710 by 81, we get 8 with a remainder of 62.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12319.432098
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 648 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
81 goes into 620 7 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12319.4320987
Deduct 567 from 620 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
The number 81 fits into 530 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12319.43209876
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.

The quotient of the division is 12319.43209876, and the remainder is 4.4e-08.
