We're dividing 240471 by 27 
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 240471.

Let's proceed to step 1:
27 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 240 / 27

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 244 / 27

Step 4:
27 goes into 244 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
Deduct 243 from 244 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 27

On to step 5:
27 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 890.0
If we take 0 away from 17, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 171 / 27

Moving on to step 6:
171 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8906.0
Subtracting 162 from 171 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 90 3 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8906.3
If we subtract 81 from 90, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 90 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8906.33
If we take 81 away from 90, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 8906.33 and a remainder of 0.009.
