Let's divide 277494 by 81
We want to figure out the number of times 277494 can be divided by 81.

Step 1:
81 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 81

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 27 leaves us with 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
81 can be fit into 277 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 243 from 277, we get 34.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 344 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
81 goes into 344 4 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 324 from 344.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 209 / 81

On to step 5:
If we divide 209 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 47.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 342.0
If we take 162 away from 209, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 474 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 474 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3425.0
Subtract 405 from 474 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
81 can be fit into 690 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3425.8
Subtracting 648 from 690 leaves us with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 81, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3425.85
If we take 405 away from 420, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 81, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3425.851
Subtract 81 from 150 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
81 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3425.8518
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 648 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3425.85185
If we subtract 405 from 420, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
81 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 69.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3425.851851
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 81 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
690 divided by 81 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3425.8518518
If we subtract 648 from 690, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
420 divided by 81 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3425.85185185
Deduct 405 from 420 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The final result is 3425.85185185 with a remainder of 1.5e-08.
