We look at the division of 271438 by 1 
Our goal is to divide 271438 by 1.

Moving on to step 1:
1 goes into 2 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 1

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 7 by 1, we get 7 and a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtracting 7 from 7 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 1

Going ahead to step 3:
1 goes into 1 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 271.0
Subtract 1 from 1 to get 0.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 4 / 1

On to step 4:
The number 1 fits into 4 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2714.0
Subtracting 4 from 4 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 3 / 1

Going ahead to step 5:
3 divided by 1 is 3 with a remainder of 0.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27143.0
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 8 / 1

Moving on to step 6:
The number 1 fits into 8 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271438.0
If we take 8 away from 8, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
1 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 271438.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 1 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 271438.0
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 271438.0, and the remainder is 0.0.
