Let's divide 42074 by 27
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 42074.

Let's proceed to step 1:
27 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 27

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 27 away from 42, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 150 / 27

On to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 150 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 135 away from 150, we end up with 15.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 157 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
27 can be fit into 157 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtracting 135 from 157 leaves us with 22.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 224 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
224 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1558.0
Subtract 216 from 224 to 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 6:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.2
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
27 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.29
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.

On to step 8:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1558.296
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.

Moving on to step 9:
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: 1558.2962
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.

On to step 10:
The number 27 fits into 260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1558.29629
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1558.296296
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.

Step 12:
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: 1558.2962962
Deduct 54 from 80 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.29629629
If we take 243 away from 260, we end up 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.

Our division results in 1558.29629629 with a remaining 1.7e-08.
