We're dividing 544988 by 27 
Our goal is to divide 544988 by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
27 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 54 from 54 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 4 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 27

On to step 4:
27 can be fit into 49 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 201.0
Subtracting 27 from 49 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 228 / 27

On to step 5:
If we divide 228 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2018.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 216 from 228.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 27

Step 6:
If we divide 128 by 27, we get 4 and a remainder of 20.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20184.0
Subtracting 108 from 128 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
27 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20184.7
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 189 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20184.74
Subtract 108 from 110 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20184.74
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 27 fits into 200 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20184.7407
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 189 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 27 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20184.74074
Subtracting 108 from 110 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 20 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20184.74074
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
27 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20184.7407407
Subtracting 189 from 200 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 110 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20184.74074074
Subtracting 108 from 110 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20184.74074074, and the remainder is 2e-09.
