271878 ÷ 99 
We want to divide 271878 by 99.

Let's proceed to step 1:
99 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 99

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 271 / 99

Going ahead to step 3:
271 divided by 99 is 2 with a remainder of 73.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 198 from 271, we get 73.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 738 / 99

On to step 4:
99 goes into 738 7 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 693 away from 738, we end up with 45.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 45 and continue with: 457 / 99

On to step 5:
If we divide 457 by 99, we get 4 and a remainder of 61.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 274.0
Subtracting 396 from 457 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 618 / 99

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 618 by 99, we get 6 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2746.0
Deduct 594 from 618 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 99 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2746.2
If we subtract 198 from 240, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
420 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2746.24
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 396 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 99, we get 2 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2746.242
If we take 198 away from 240, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 420 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2746.2424
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 396 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
99 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2746.24242
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 198 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
420 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2746.242424
If we subtract 396 from 420, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
99 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2746.2424242
Subtract 198 from 240 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 420 by 99, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2746.24242424
Subtract 396 from 420 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2746.24242424, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
