Let's divide 386042 by 81
Our goal is to divide 386042 by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 386 / 81

On to step 3:
81 goes into 386 4 times with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 324 from 386 to get 62.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 620 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 620 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 567 from 620, we get 53.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 534 / 81

Going ahead to step 5:
81 goes into 534 6 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 486 from 534.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 482 / 81

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 482 by 81, we get 5 with a remainder of 77.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4765.0
If we take 405 away from 482, we end up with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
770 divided by 81 is 9 with a remainder of 41.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4765.9
If we take 729 away from 770, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
410 divided by 81 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4765.95
Subtracting 405 from 410 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
81 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4765.95
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 10:
81 goes into 500 6 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4765.9506
If we subtract 486 from 500, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
140 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4765.95061
Subtracting 81 from 140 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 590 by 81, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4765.950617
Subtracting 567 from 590 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
230 divided by 81 is 2 with a remainder of 68.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4765.9506172
Subtracting 162 from 230 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 81 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4765.95061728
Subtract 648 from 680 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4765.95061728, and the remainder is 3.2e-08.
