We divide 257020 by 81
We want to divide 257020 by 81.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 81, we get 0 and 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.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 81

Step 2:
81 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
81 goes into 257 3 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 243 from 257.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
81 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 81 from 140 to get 59.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 592 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
81 goes into 592 7 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we subtract 567 from 592, we get 25.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 250 / 81

Step 6:
If we divide 250 by 81, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3173.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 243 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3173.0
If we subtract 0 from 70, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 700 by 81, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3173.08
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 648 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
81 can be fit into 520 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3173.086
Subtract 486 from 520 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 340 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3173.0864
If we take 324 away from 340, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 11:
81 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3173.08641
The remainder is 79 after subtracting 81 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
81 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3173.086419
If we subtract 729 from 790, we get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 610 by 81, we get 7 with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3173.0864197
Subtracting 567 from 610 leaves us with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 430 by 81, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3173.08641975
If we take 405 away from 430, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 3173.08641975, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
