Let's divide 482972 by 81
Our goal is to divide 482972 by 81.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 81

Advancing to step 2:
81 can be fit into 48 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 482 / 81

Step 3:
If we divide 482 by 81, we get 5 and a remainder of 77.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 405 from 482 and we're left with 77.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 77 and continue: 779 / 81

Step 4:
The number 81 fits into 779 9 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 729 from 779.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 507 / 81

On to step 5:
The number 81 fits into 507 6 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 596.0
If we take 486 away from 507, we end up with 21.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 212 / 81

Step 6:
The number 81 fits into 212 2 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5962.0
If we subtract 162 from 212, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
500 divided by 81 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5962.6
If we take 486 away from 500, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
81 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5962.61
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 81 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 81 fits into 590 7 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5962.617
If we take 567 away from 590, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 10:
81 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5962.6172
Subtracting 162 from 230 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 680 by 81, we get 8 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5962.61728
If we subtract 648 from 680, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
81 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5962.617283
If we take 243 away from 320, we end up with 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
81 can be fit into 770 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5962.6172839
Deduct 729 from 770 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
81 goes into 410 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5962.61728395
If we take 405 away from 410, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5962.61728395, and the remainder is 5e-09.
