We divide 74484 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 74484 can be divided by 27.

On to step 1:
27 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
27 can be fit into 74 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 54 from 74 leaves us with 20.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 204 / 27

Step 3:
27 goes into 204 7 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 189 from 204.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 158 5 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 275.0
If we take 135 away from 158, we end up with 23.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 234 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
27 goes into 234 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2758.0
Subtract 216 from 234 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 180 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2758.6
If we subtract 162 from 180, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2758.66
Subtracting 162 from 180 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2758.66 and a remainder of 0.018.
