Let's divide 489462 by 27
Our goal is to divide 489462 by 27.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 27

Step 2:
When dividing 48 by 27, we get 1 with 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.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 219 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 216 from 219 to get 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 27

On to step 4:
27 goes into 34 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we subtract 27 from 34, we get 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
27 can be fit into 76 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1812.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 54 from 76.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 222 / 27

Let's proceed to step 6:
222 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18128.0
Deduct 216 from 222 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18128.2
Subtracting 54 from 60 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 60 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 18128.22
Deduct 54 from 60 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 18128.22 and a remainder of 0.006.
