We're dividing 172976 by 27 
We want to divide 172976 by 27.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 27

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
27 can be fit into 172 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 162 from 172 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 109 / 27

Step 4:
109 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 64.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 108 from 109.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 17 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 640.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 176 / 27

On to step 6:
176 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6406.0
Subtracting 162 from 176 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.

Step 7:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6406.5
Deduct 135 from 140 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
27 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6406.51
Deduct 27 from 50 and we're left 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:
230 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6406.518
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 216 from 230.
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 10:
The number 27 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6406.5185
Deduct 135 from 140 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
50 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6406.51851
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 230 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6406.518518
If we subtract 216 from 230, we 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.

Step 13:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6406.5185185
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 50 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6406.51851851
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.

The quotient of the division is 6406.51851851, and the remainder is 2.3e-08.
