Let's divide 140708 by 81
Our goal is to divide 140708 by 81.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 81

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 81 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 81 from 140.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 597 / 81

On to step 4:
597 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 567 from 597 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 300 / 81

On to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 173.0
Deduct 243 from 300 and we're left with 57.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 578 / 81

Going ahead to step 6:
81 can be fit into 578 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1737.0
If we take 567 away from 578, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
81 can be fit into 110 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1737.1
Deduct 81 from 110 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
290 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 47.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1737.13
Subtracting 243 from 290 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
81 can be fit into 470 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1737.135
If we take 405 away from 470, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
81 can be fit into 650 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1737.1358
Subtracting 648 from 650 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 81 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1737.1358
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
200 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1737.135802
Subtract 162 from 200 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 380 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1737.1358024
If we subtract 324 from 380, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1737.13580246
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 486 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1737.13580246 with a balance of 7.4e-08.
