We divide 404861 by 81
Let's see how many times 81 fits into 404861.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 81

Step 2:
81 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 404 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 324 from 404, we get 80.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 80 and continue with: 808 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
81 can be fit into 808 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 729 from 808, we get 79.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 796 / 81

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 796 by 81, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 499.0
Subtracting 729 from 796 leaves us with 67.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 671 / 81

Step 6:
If we divide 671 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4998.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 648 from 671.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 81 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4998.2
Subtract 162 from 230 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
81 goes into 680 8 times with a remainder of 32.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4998.28
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
81 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4998.283
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 243 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
81 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 41.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4998.2839
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 729 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 81 fits into 410 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4998.28395
Deduct 405 from 410 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
50 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4998.28395
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
81 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4998.2839506
Subtract 486 from 500 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
81 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4998.28395061
Deduct 81 from 140 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Our division results in 4998.28395061 with a remaining 5.9e-08.
