We're dividing 81731189 by 256 
We're looking to find how many times 256 goes into 81731189.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 256 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 81 / 256

Advancing to step 2:
256 goes into 81 0 times with a remainder of 81.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 0 from 81.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 81 and continue with: 817 / 256

On to step 3:
256 can be fit into 817 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 768 from 817, we get 49.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 49, then carry on: 493 / 256

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 493 by 256, we get 1 with a remainder of 237.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 256 away from 493, we end up with 237.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 237, then carry on: 2371 / 256

Moving on to step 5:
256 can be fit into 2371 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 2304 from 2371 leaves us with 67.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 671 / 256

Step 6:
If we divide 671 by 256, we get 2 and a remainder of 159.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3192.0
If we take 512 away from 671, we end up with 159.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 159 and continue: 1598 / 256

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 1598 by 256, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31926.0
If we subtract 1536 from 1598, we get 62.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 629 / 256

On to step 8:
When dividing 629 by 256, we get 2 with a remainder of 117.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 319262.0
Subtract 512 from 629 to get 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 1170 by 256, we get 4 with a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 319262.4
If we subtract 1024 from 1170, we get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 256 fits into 1460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 180.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 319262.45
Subtract 1280 from 1460 to get 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
256 can be fit into 1800 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 319262.457
Subtracting 1792 from 1800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
256 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 319262.457
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 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:
The number 256 fits into 800 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 319262.45703
If we take 768 away from 800, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 256, we get 1 and a remainder of 64.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 319262.457031
Subtract 256 from 320 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 15:
The number 256 fits into 640 2 times, leaving a remainder of 128.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 319262.4570312
If we subtract 512 from 640, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
The number 256 fits into 1280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 319262.45703125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 1280 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 319262.45703125 with a balance of 0.0.
