We're dividing 508459 by 27 
We want to divide 508459 by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 50 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 50 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 27 from 50.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 27

On to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 238 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 216 away from 238, we end up with 22.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 224 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
224 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 188.0
Deduct 216 from 224 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 27

Step 5:
The number 27 fits into 85 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1883.0
Deduct 81 from 85 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 27

On to step 6:
27 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18831.0
Subtract 27 from 49 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 220 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18831.8
If we subtract 216 from 220, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
27 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18831.81
If we take 27 away from 40, we end up with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 130 by 27, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18831.814
If we take 108 away from 130, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
27 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18831.8148
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
27 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18831.81481
Subtract 27 from 40 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 130 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18831.814814
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 108 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
27 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18831.8148148
Subtract 216 from 220 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 40 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18831.81481481
Subtract 27 from 40 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18831.81481481, with a leftover of 1.3e-08.
