478534 ÷ 81 
Our goal is to divide 478534 by 81.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
47 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 47.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 478 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 478 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 405 away from 478, we end up with 73.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 735 / 81

On to step 4:
735 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 729 from 735.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 81

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 63 0 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 590.0
Subtracting 0 from 63 leaves us with 63.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 634 / 81

On to step 6:
If we divide 634 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 67.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5907.0
Deduct 567 from 634 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 670 by 81, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5907.8
Subtracting 648 from 670 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5907.82
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 162 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 580 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5907.827
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 567 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 130 by 81, we get 1 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5907.8271
If we take 81 away from 130, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 490 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5907.82716
Deduct 486 from 490 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
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: 5907.82716
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5907.8271604
Deduct 324 from 400 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
760 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5907.82716049
If we take 729 away from 760, we end up with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5907.82716049 with a remaining 3.1e-08.
