We're dividing 542127 by 27 
We want to divide 542127 by 27.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 27

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 can be fit into 54 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 54 away from 54, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 2 / 27

On to step 3:
27 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 200.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
27 can be fit into 212 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2007.0
Subtract 189 from 212 to get 23.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 237 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 237 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 21.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20078.0
Deduct 216 from 237 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 210 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20078.7
Subtracting 189 from 210 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 210 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20078.77
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 189 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20078.77 with a balance of 0.021.
