We're dividing 218752 by 81 
Let's see how many times 81 fits into 218752.

Going ahead to step 1:
81 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 81

Step 2:
When dividing 21 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 81

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 81 fits into 218 2 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 162 from 218 to get 56.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 567 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 567 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 567 from 567 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 5 / 81

Let's proceed to step 5:
81 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 270.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 81

Advancing to step 6:
52 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 52.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2700.0
If we take 0 away from 52, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 81 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2700.6
If we subtract 486 from 520, we 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.

Step 8:
81 goes into 340 4 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2700.64
If we subtract 324 from 340, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 160 by 81, we get 1 and a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2700.641
If we take 81 away from 160, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 81 fits into 790 9 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2700.6419
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 729 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 610 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 43.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2700.64197
Deduct 567 from 610 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
81 goes into 430 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2700.641975
Subtracting 405 from 430 leaves us 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 250 by 81, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2700.6419753
Deduct 243 from 250 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 81 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2700.6419753
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2700.6419753 with a remaining 7e-08.
