We divide 298862 by 81
We want to divide 298862 by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
81 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 298 / 81

On to step 3:
81 can be fit into 298 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 243 away from 298, we end up with 55.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 55 and continue with: 558 / 81

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 558 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 486 from 558, we get 72.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 726 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
726 divided by 81 is 8 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 368.0
Subtract 648 from 726 to get 78.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 782 / 81

Step 6:
782 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3689.0
Subtract 729 from 782 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 530 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3689.6
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 486 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
81 can be fit into 440 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3689.65
Subtract 405 from 440 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
350 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3689.654
Deduct 324 from 350 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 81 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3689.6543
Deduct 243 from 260 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 11:
81 goes into 170 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3689.65432
Subtract 162 from 170 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
81 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3689.65432
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 13:
81 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3689.6543209
If we subtract 729 from 800, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
81 goes into 710 8 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3689.65432098
Subtract 648 from 710 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

The final result is 3689.65432098 with a remainder of 6.2e-08.
