We divide 279243 by 81
We want to figure out the number of times 279243 can be divided by 81.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
81 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 27 and continue with: 279 / 81

Going ahead to step 3:
81 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 243 from 279 to get 36.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 362 / 81

Step 4:
81 can be fit into 362 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 324 from 362.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 38, then repeat: 384 / 81

Moving on to step 5:
81 can be fit into 384 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 344.0
If we subtract 324 from 384, we get 60.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 603 / 81

On to step 6:
When dividing 603 by 81, we get 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3447.0
Subtract 567 from 603 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
81 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3447.4
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 324 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
360 divided by 81 is 4 with a remainder of 36.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3447.44
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 324 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 3447.44 with a remainder of 0.036.
