Let's divide 542255 by 27
Let's see how many times 27 fits into 542255.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
54 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 54 from 54.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 27

On to step 3:
27 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 27

On to step 4:
If we divide 22 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 200.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 225 / 27

On to step 5:
27 can be fit into 225 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2008.0
Deduct 216 from 225 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 95 / 27

On to step 6:
95 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20083.0
Deduct 81 from 95 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20083.5
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 8:
When dividing 50 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20083.51
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.

Step 9:
27 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 20083.518
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.

Advancing to step 10:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20083.5185
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.

Step 11:
The number 27 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20083.51851
If we take 27 away from 50, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 27 fits into 230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20083.518518
If we subtract 216 from 230, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
27 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20083.5185185
Subtracting 135 from 140 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 14:
27 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20083.51851851
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 27 from 50.
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 20083.51851851, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
