Let's divide 500876 by 27
We want to divide 500876 by 27.

On to step 1:
27 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 50 / 27

Advancing to step 2:
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: 1.0
If we take 27 away from 50, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 230 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 216 away from 230, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 148 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 148 5 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 185.0
If we take 135 away from 148, we end up with 13.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 137 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
27 goes into 137 5 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1855.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 135 from 137.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 27

On to step 6:
If we divide 26 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18550.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
260 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18550.9
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 243 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 170 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18550.96
Subtracting 162 from 170 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
27 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18550.962
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
27 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18550.9629
Deduct 243 from 260 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 170 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18550.96296
If we subtract 162 from 170, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 27 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18550.962962
Subtract 54 from 80 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18550.9629629
Subtract 243 from 260 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18550.96296296
Deduct 162 from 170 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 18550.96296296 with a balance of 8e-09.
