159541 ÷ 27 
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 159541.

Let's proceed to step 1:
27 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 27

On to step 2:
When dividing 15 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
27 can be fit into 159 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 135 from 159, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
245 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 243 away from 245, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 27

On to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 590.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 241 / 27

Moving on to step 6:
27 can be fit into 241 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5908.0
Deduct 216 from 241 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
250 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5908.9
Deduct 243 from 250 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5908.92
Subtracting 54 from 70 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
160 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5908.925
Subtracting 135 from 160 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
27 can be fit into 250 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5908.9259
Deduct 243 from 250 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
27 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5908.92592
Subtract 54 from 70 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 27, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5908.925925
Subtracting 135 from 160 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
27 can be fit into 250 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5908.9259259
If we take 243 away from 250, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
27 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5908.92592592
If we subtract 54 from 70, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5908.92592592, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
