981471 ÷ 81 
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 981471.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 81

On to step 2:
98 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 81 from 98, we get 17.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 171 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
81 goes into 171 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 162 from 171, we get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 81

On to step 4:
81 can be fit into 94 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 81 from 94 leaves us with 13.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 137 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
81 can be fit into 137 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1211.0
If we subtract 81 from 137, we get 56.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 561 / 81

Going ahead to step 6:
561 divided by 81 is 6 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 12116.0
Subtracting 486 from 561 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 81 fits into 750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12116.9
Deduct 729 from 750 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 81 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12116.92
Subtracting 162 from 210 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
81 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12116.925
If we subtract 405 from 480, we get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 81, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12116.9259
If we take 729 away from 750, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 210 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12116.92592
Deduct 162 from 210 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 12:
81 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12116.925925
If we take 405 away from 480, we end up with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 750 by 81, we get 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12116.9259259
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 729 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
81 can be fit into 210 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12116.92592592
Deduct 162 from 210 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 12116.92592592 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
