We're dividing 218476 by 81 
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 218476.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 81

Step 2:
81 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
81 can be fit into 218 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 162 from 218 to get 56.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 56, then repeat: 564 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 564 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 486 from 564, we get 78.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 787 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
81 can be fit into 787 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 269.0
If we take 729 away from 787, we end up with 58.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 586 / 81

Let's proceed to step 6:
586 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 19.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2697.0
If we take 567 away from 586, we end up 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:
When dividing 190 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2697.2
Subtract 162 from 190 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
280 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2697.23
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.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2697.234
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
81 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2697.2345
Deduct 405 from 460 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 550 6 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2697.23456
If we take 486 away from 550, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
640 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2697.234567
If we subtract 567 from 640, we get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
81 can be fit into 730 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2697.2345679
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 729 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
81 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2697.2345679
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 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 2697.2345679 and a remainder of 1e-08.
