480972 divided by 81 
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 480972.

Going ahead to step 1:
4 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
81 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 480 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 480 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 405 from 480.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 759 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
81 goes into 759 9 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
Subtracting 729 from 759 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 81

Step 5:
81 can be fit into 307 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 593.0
Subtract 243 from 307 to get 64.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 64, then repeat: 642 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
81 can be fit into 642 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5937.0
Deduct 567 from 642 and we're left 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.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5937.9
Subtract 729 from 750 to get 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:
When dividing 210 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5937.92
If we take 162 away from 210, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
81 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5937.925
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:
81 can be fit into 750 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5937.9259
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5937.92592
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:
If we divide 480 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5937.925925
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 81 fits into 750 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5937.9259259
Subtract 729 from 750 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 210 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5937.92592592
Subtract 162 from 210 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5937.92592592 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
