We're dividing 234187 by 81 
We're looking to find how many times 81 goes into 234187.

Going ahead to step 1:
81 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 81

Let's proceed to step 2:
23 divided by 81 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 234 / 81

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 234 by 81, we get 2 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 162 from 234, we get 72.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 721 / 81

On to step 4:
81 goes into 721 8 times with a remainder of 73.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 648 from 721, we get 73.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 738 / 81

On to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 738 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 289.0
Subtracting 729 from 738 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 81

Moving on to step 6:
97 divided by 81 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2891.0
Subtracting 81 from 97 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 160 by 81, we get 1 and a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2891.1
If we take 81 away from 160, we end up with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
81 can be fit into 790 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2891.19
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 729 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
610 divided by 81 is 7 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2891.197
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 567 from 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
81 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2891.1975
If we subtract 405 from 430, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
81 goes into 250 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2891.19753
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 243 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 12:
81 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2891.19753
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 81, we get 8 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2891.1975308
If we take 648 away from 700, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 14:
81 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2891.19753086
Subtract 486 from 520 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2891.19753086 with a remaining 3.4e-08.
