We divide 48593231 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 48593231 can be divided by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
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: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 27 from 48 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 215 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
27 goes into 215 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 189 away from 215, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 269 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
27 can be fit into 269 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtract 243 from 269 to get 26.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 263 / 27

On to step 5:
When dividing 263 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 20.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1799.0
If we subtract 243 from 263, we get 20.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 202 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
The number 27 fits into 202 7 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17997.0
If we take 189 away from 202, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 133 / 27

On to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 133 4 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 179974.0
Subtracting 108 from 133 leaves us with 25.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 251 / 27

On to step 8:
When dividing 251 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1799749.0
If we take 243 away from 251, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1799749.2
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 27 fits into 260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1799749.29
If we subtract 243 from 260, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
27 can be fit into 170 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1799749.296
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 162 from 170.
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:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1799749.2962
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 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 13:
When dividing 260 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1799749.29629
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:
27 goes into 170 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1799749.296296
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 162 from 170.
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 15:
If we divide 80 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1799749.2962962
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
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 16:
27 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1799749.29629629
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.

The final outcome is 1799749.29629629, with a leftover of 1.7e-08.
