We divide 146854 by 81
Our goal is to divide 146854 by 81.

On to step 1:
81 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 81

Step 2:
If we divide 14 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 146 / 81

On to step 3:
81 can be fit into 146 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 81 from 146.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 65 and continue: 658 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
81 can be fit into 658 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 648 from 658 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 105 / 81

On to step 5:
81 can be fit into 105 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 81 away from 105, we end up with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 81

On to step 6:
The number 81 fits into 244 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1813.0
Deduct 243 from 244 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1813.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1813.01
If we take 81 away from 100, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 81 fits into 190 2 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1813.012
If we take 162 away from 190, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
81 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 37.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1813.0123
Deduct 243 from 280 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
81 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1813.01234
If we take 324 away from 370, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 81 fits into 460 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1813.012345
Subtracting 405 from 460 leaves us with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 550 by 81, we get 6 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1813.0123456
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 486 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
640 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1813.01234567
Subtract 567 from 640 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1813.01234567 with a balance of 7.3e-08.
