We divide 161929 by 27
We want to divide 161929 by 27.

On 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
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 16 / 27

Step 2:
27 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 16 and we're left with 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 27

Step 3:
161 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 135 from 161 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 269 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 243 from 269.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 262 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
27 goes into 262 9 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 599.0
If we subtract 243 from 262, we get 19.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 27

On to step 6:
When dividing 199 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5997.0
Deduct 189 from 199 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 100 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5997.3
If we subtract 81 from 100, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
27 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5997.37
If we take 189 away from 190, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
27 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5997.37
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5997.3703
If we take 81 away from 100, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
27 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5997.37037
Subtract 189 from 190 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 12:
27 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5997.37037
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 27 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5997.3703703
Subtract 81 from 100 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
190 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5997.37037037
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 189 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 5997.37037037 with a remainder of 1e-09.
