We divide 24281 by 81
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 24281.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
The number 81 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
81 goes into 242 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 162 from 242 and we're left with 80.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 808 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 81 fits into 808 9 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 729 from 808 and we're left with 79.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 791 / 81

Step 5:
The number 81 fits into 791 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 299.0
Deduct 729 from 791 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
620 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.7
If we subtract 567 from 620, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
530 divided by 81 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 299.76
If we subtract 486 from 530, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
81 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 299.765
Subtracting 405 from 440 leaves us 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 9:
81 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 299.7654
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 324 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
81 goes into 260 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.76543
If we take 243 away from 260, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
81 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299.765432
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
80 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 299.765432
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
800 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 299.76543209
If we take 729 away from 800, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 299.76543209 with a balance of 7.1e-08.
