We're dividing 226686 by 81 
Let's see how many times 81 fits into 226686.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 22 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 226 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 226 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 162 from 226 to get 64.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 646 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 646 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 79.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 567 from 646 leaves us with 79.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 79, then repeat: 798 / 81

Step 5:
798 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 69.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 279.0
Subtract 729 from 798 to get 69.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 696 / 81

Let's proceed to step 6:
696 divided by 81 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2798.0
Subtract 648 from 696 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.

On to step 7:
81 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 75.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2798.5
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.

Step 8:
81 goes into 750 9 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2798.59
Deduct 729 from 750 and we're left with 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 9:
81 goes into 210 2 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2798.592
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 480 by 81, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2798.5925
If we take 405 away from 480, we end up 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.

Step 11:
81 can be fit into 750 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2798.59259
Subtracting 729 from 750 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
210 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2798.592592
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 162 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 13:
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: 2798.5925925
Subtract 405 from 480 to 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 14:
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: 2798.59259259
Subtracting 729 from 750 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2798.59259259, with a leftover of 2.1e-08.
