We divide 996692 by 81
Our goal is to divide 996692 by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 99 / 81

On to step 2:
81 can be fit into 99 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 81 from 99 to get 18.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 18 and repeat the process: 186 / 81

Step 3:
186 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 162 from 186, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 246 / 81

Going ahead to step 4:
246 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 3.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Subtracting 243 from 246 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 81

Step 5:
39 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1230.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 392 / 81

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 392 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12304.0
Deduct 324 from 392 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
81 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12304.8
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 81 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12304.83
If we take 243 away from 320, we end up with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 9:
770 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12304.839
If we subtract 729 from 770, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
81 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12304.8395
If we take 405 away from 410, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12304.8395
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 500 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12304.839506
Subtracting 486 from 500 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 81, we get 1 and a remainder of 59.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12304.8395061
Deduct 81 from 140 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 590 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12304.83950617
Subtract 567 from 590 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12304.83950617 and a remainder of 2.3e-08.
