We're dividing 254687 by 81 
Our goal is to divide 254687 by 81.

Going ahead to step 1:
81 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
81 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
254 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 243 from 254 to get 11.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 116 / 81

On to step 4:
The number 81 fits into 116 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 81 from 116, we get 35.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 35, then repeat: 358 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
81 can be fit into 358 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 314.0
If we subtract 324 from 358, we get 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 81

Going ahead to step 6:
347 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3144.0
If we subtract 324 from 347, we 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 230 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3144.2
If we take 162 away from 230, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
81 can be fit into 680 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3144.28
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.

Advancing to step 9:
81 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 77.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3144.283
If we subtract 243 from 320, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
81 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3144.2839
Subtracting 729 from 770 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
81 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3144.28395
If we subtract 405 from 410, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3144.28395
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 500 by 81, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3144.2839506
If we subtract 486 from 500, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 81, we get 1 and a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3144.28395061
If we subtract 81 from 140, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3144.28395061 and a remainder of 5.9e-08.
