978993 divided by 81 
We want to figure out the number of times 978993 can be divided by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 81

Moving on to step 2:
81 can be fit into 97 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 81 from 97, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 168 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 81 fits into 168 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 162 from 168.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
If we subtract 0 from 69, we get 69.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 69, then repeat: 699 / 81

On to step 5:
81 goes into 699 8 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1208.0
If we take 648 away from 699, we end up with 51.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 513 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
The number 81 fits into 513 6 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12086.0
If we subtract 486 from 513, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 270 by 81, we get 3 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12086.3
If we take 243 away from 270, we end up with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 81 fits into 270 3 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12086.33
Deduct 243 from 270 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12086.33 with a balance of 0.027.
