983431 ÷ 27 
We want to figure out the number of times 983431 can be divided by 27.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 27

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 can be fit into 98 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 81 away from 98, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
173 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 11.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 162 from 173.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 114 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 364.0
Subtracting 108 from 114 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 27

Step 5:
When dividing 63 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3642.0
Deduct 54 from 63 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
91 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36423.0
If we subtract 81 from 91, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36423.3
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 81 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
190 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36423.37
Deduct 189 from 190 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36423.37
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 10:
27 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36423.3703
If we take 81 away from 100, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
27 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36423.37037
Subtract 189 from 190 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 10 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36423.37037
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 100 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36423.3703703
Subtracting 81 from 100 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
27 goes into 190 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36423.37037037
If we take 189 away from 190, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 36423.37037037, and the remainder is 1e-09.
