85721 ÷ 27 
We want to divide 85721 by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 85 / 27

On to step 2:
27 goes into 85 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 81 from 85.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 47 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we subtract 27 from 47, we get 20.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 202 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
27 goes into 202 7 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.0
Deduct 189 from 202 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 27 fits into 131 4 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3174.0
If we take 108 away from 131, 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.

Step 6:
27 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3174.8
Deduct 216 from 230 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3174.85
If we take 135 away from 140, we end up 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 8:
If we divide 50 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3174.851
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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3174.8518
Deduct 216 from 230 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.

Advancing to step 10:
27 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3174.85185
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.

Step 11:
27 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3174.851851
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.

Advancing to step 12:
27 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3174.8518518
Deduct 216 from 230 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.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3174.85185185
If we take 135 away from 140, we end up 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.

Our division results in 3174.85185185 with a remaining 5e-09.
