We divide 38969 by 81
Our goal is to divide 38969 by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 3, we get 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
81 can be fit into 38 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 38, we end up with 38.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 389 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 389 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 65.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 324 from 389, we get 65.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 656 / 81

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 656 by 81, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 648 away from 656, we end up with 8.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 89 / 81

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 89 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 481.0
Subtract 81 from 89 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 80 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 481.0
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 81 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 481.09
If we take 729 away from 800, we end up with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 81 fits into 710 8 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 481.098
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 648 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
81 can be fit into 620 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 481.0987
If we subtract 567 from 620, we get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
530 divided by 81 is 6 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 481.09876
Deduct 486 from 530 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
440 divided by 81 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 481.098765
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 405 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 350 by 81, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 481.0987654
Subtract 324 from 350 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
260 divided by 81 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 481.09876543
If we subtract 243 from 260, we get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final result is 481.09876543 with a remainder of 1.7e-08.
