272331 divided by 21 
We want to divide 272331 by 21.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 21 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 21

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 21, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 21 from 27 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 21

Advancing to step 3:
62 divided by 21 is 2 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we take 42 away from 62, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 203 / 21

Advancing to step 4:
The number 21 fits into 203 9 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 129.0
If we take 189 away from 203, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 143 / 21

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 143 by 21, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1296.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 126 from 143.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 171 / 21

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 171 by 21, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12968.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 168 from 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 21, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12968.1
Deduct 21 from 30 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 21 fits into 90 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12968.14
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 84 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
21 goes into 60 2 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12968.142
Subtracting 42 from 60 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 180 by 21, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12968.1428
If we take 168 away from 180, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 120 by 21, we get 5 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12968.14285
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 105 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
21 goes into 150 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12968.142857
If we take 147 away from 150, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 13:
21 can be fit into 30 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12968.1428571
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 21 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 21 fits into 90 4 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12968.14285714
If we subtract 84 from 90, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 12968.14285714, and the remainder is 6e-09.
