We divide 996417 by 81
We want to figure out the number of times 996417 can be divided by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 81

Step 2:
81 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 81 from 99.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 186 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 186 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 162 from 186, we get 24.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 244 / 81

On to step 4:
244 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 123.0
Deduct 243 from 244 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 81

Step 5:
If we divide 11 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1230.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 117 / 81

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 81 fits into 117 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12301.0
Subtract 81 from 117 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 12301.4
Subtracting 324 from 360 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
81 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12301.44
If we take 324 away from 360, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 12301.44 and a remainder of 0.036.
