We divide 240020 by 81
We want to divide 240020 by 81.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 81, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 81

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 240 / 81

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 162 from 240 and we're left with 78.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 78, then carry on: 780 / 81

Moving on to step 4:
The number 81 fits into 780 9 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 729 from 780, we get 51.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 512 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 512 by 81, we get 6 with a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 296.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 486 from 512.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 260 / 81

Step 6:
The number 81 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2963.0
Subtract 243 from 260 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 170 by 81, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2963.2
Subtract 162 from 170 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 8:
81 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2963.2
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 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 9:
If we divide 800 by 81, we get 9 and a remainder of 71.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2963.209
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 729 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 710 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2963.2098
Subtracting 648 from 710 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 81 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2963.20987
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 12:
81 goes into 530 6 times with a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2963.209876
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 486 from 530.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
440 divided by 81 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2963.2098765
Subtract 405 from 440 to get 35.
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 14:
81 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2963.20987654
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 324 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2963.20987654 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
