We divide 389953 by 81
Our goal is to divide 389953 by 81.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 38, we get 38.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 389 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 389 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 65.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 324 away from 389, we end up with 65.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 659 / 81

On to step 4:
81 can be fit into 659 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 648 from 659 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 115 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 goes into 115 1 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 481.0
If we subtract 81 from 115, we get 34.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 343 / 81

On to step 6:
The number 81 fits into 343 4 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4814.0
Subtracting 324 from 343 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
190 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4814.2
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 162 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 81 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4814.23
Subtracting 243 from 280 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 370 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4814.234
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 324 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 460 by 81, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4814.2345
If we take 405 away from 460, we end up with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4814.23456
Deduct 486 from 550 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 81 fits into 640 7 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4814.234567
Deduct 567 from 640 and we're left with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
730 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4814.2345679
Subtracting 729 from 730 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
81 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4814.2345679
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4814.2345679 and a remainder of 1e-08.
