We look at the division of 171078 by 81 
We want to divide 171078 by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
81 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 81

Step 2:
The number 81 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 171 / 81

Step 3:
81 goes into 171 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 162 from 171, we get 9.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 90 / 81

On to step 4:
81 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 81 from 90 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 81

Going ahead to step 5:
81 goes into 97 1 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 211.0
If we subtract 81 from 97, we get 16.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 168 / 81

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 81 fits into 168 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2112.0
Deduct 162 from 168 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
81 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2112.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 8:
81 goes into 600 7 times with a remainder of 33.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2112.07
Deduct 567 from 600 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 330 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2112.074
Subtracting 324 from 330 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 81 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2112.074
Subtract 0 from 60 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 600 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2112.07407
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 567 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
330 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2112.074074
Subtracting 324 from 330 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 81 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2112.074074
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
600 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 33.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2112.07407407
Deduct 567 from 600 and we're left with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

The final result is 2112.07407407 with a remainder of 3.3e-08.
