We look at the division of 156371 by 27 
Our goal is to divide 156371 by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 27

Step 2:
15 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
156 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 135 from 156 to get 21.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 213 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 57.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 189 from 213.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 247 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 579.0
Deduct 243 from 247 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
27 can be fit into 41 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5791.0
Subtracting 27 from 41 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.

Advancing to step 7:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5791.5
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 50 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5791.51
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 230 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5791.518
Subtract 216 from 230 to 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 10:
The number 27 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5791.5185
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 27 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5791.51851
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.

Advancing to step 12:
27 goes into 230 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5791.518518
Subtract 216 from 230 to 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
27 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5791.5185185
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.

Moving on to step 14:
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: 5791.51851851
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.

Our division results in 5791.51851851 with a remaining 2.3e-08.
