Let's divide 688785 by 81
We want to divide 688785 by 81.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 81 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 81

Step 2:
When dividing 68 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 68 leaves us with 68.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 688 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
81 can be fit into 688 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 648 away from 688, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 81

Advancing to step 4:
81 can be fit into 407 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 85.0
If we subtract 405 from 407, we get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 81

Let's proceed to step 5:
28 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 850.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 285 / 81

Step 6:
When dividing 285 by 81, we get 3 with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.0
Deduct 243 from 285 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
420 divided by 81 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.5
Subtracting 405 from 420 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
81 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8503.51
Deduct 81 from 150 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
690 divided by 81 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8503.518
If we subtract 648 from 690, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 420 by 81, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8503.5185
If we take 405 away from 420, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 150 by 81, we get 1 with a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8503.51851
Deduct 81 from 150 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 12:
690 divided by 81 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8503.518518
Subtract 648 from 690 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 13:
81 goes into 420 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8503.5185185
Subtracting 405 from 420 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
81 goes into 150 1 times with a remainder of 69.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8503.51851851
Subtract 81 from 150 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

The final result is 8503.51851851 with a remainder of 6.9e-08.
