We're dividing 38849 by 81 
Our goal is to divide 38849 by 81.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 81

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 81, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 0 from 38.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 388 / 81

On to step 3:
When dividing 388 by 81, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 324 from 388, we get 64.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 644 / 81

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 81 fits into 644 7 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 567 from 644.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 779 / 81

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 779 by 81, we get 9 with a remainder of 50.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtracting 729 from 779 leaves us with 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 6:
81 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.6
Deduct 486 from 500 and we're left 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.

Step 7:
81 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.61
Subtracting 81 from 140 leaves us with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 590 by 81, we get 7 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.617
Subtract 567 from 590 to get 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 9:
The number 81 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.6172
If we take 162 away from 230, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 81 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.61728
Subtracting 648 from 680 leaves us with 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 11:
81 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 77.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 479.617283
If we subtract 243 from 320, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 12:
81 goes into 770 9 times with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 479.6172839
Subtract 729 from 770 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
81 can be fit into 410 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 479.61728395
Subtract 405 from 410 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 479.61728395 with a remaining 5e-09.
