17240 divided by 27 
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 17240.

On to step 1:
27 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
17 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 0 from 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 172 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 162 from 172, we get 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
27 can be fit into 104 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 81 from 104 to get 23.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 27

On to step 5:
When dividing 230 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 638.0
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us 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 6:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 638.5
Deduct 135 from 140 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
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: 638.51
Subtract 27 from 50 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 8:
27 goes into 230 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 638.518
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 216 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
27 goes into 140 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 638.5185
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 135 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 27 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 638.51851
If we subtract 27 from 50, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
230 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 638.518518
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us 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 12:
27 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 638.5185185
Deduct 135 from 140 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
50 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 638.51851851
Subtracting 27 from 50 leaves us with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 638.51851851, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
