We look at the division of 148131 by 27 
We want to divide 148131 by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 14 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
14 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 148 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 148 5 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 135 away from 148, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 131 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
27 can be fit into 131 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we take 108 away from 131, we end up with 23.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 233 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
27 can be fit into 233 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 548.0
Deduct 216 from 233 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 171 / 27

On to step 6:
When dividing 171 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 9.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5486.0
Deduct 162 from 171 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5486.3
If we take 81 away from 90, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 90 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5486.33
If we take 81 away from 90, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5486.33 and a remainder of 0.009.
