Let's divide 271887 by 81
Our goal is to divide 271887 by 81.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 271 / 81

On to step 3:
81 can be fit into 271 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 243 from 271 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 81

Step 4:
81 goes into 288 3 times with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 243 from 288.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 458 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 458 5 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 335.0
If we subtract 405 from 458, we get 53.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 537 / 81

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 537 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 51.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3356.0
If we subtract 486 from 537, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 510 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3356.6
Deduct 486 from 510 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 8:
240 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 78.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3356.62
Deduct 162 from 240 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 81 fits into 780 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3356.629
Subtracting 729 from 780 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 510 by 81, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3356.6296
If we take 486 away from 510, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3356.62962
If we take 162 away from 240, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 81 fits into 780 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3356.629629
If we take 729 away from 780, we end up with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
81 goes into 510 6 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3356.6296296
Deduct 486 from 510 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3356.62962962
Subtract 162 from 240 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3356.62962962, with a leftover of 7.8e-08.
