We divide 287171 by 27
Let's see how many times 27 fits into 287171.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
27 can be fit into 28 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 27 from 28 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 17 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 27

On to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 171 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106.0
Subtracting 162 from 171 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 27

Step 5:
If we divide 97 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1063.0
Deduct 81 from 97 and we're left with 16.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 161 / 27

Going ahead to step 6:
27 can be fit into 161 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10635.0
Deduct 135 from 161 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.

On to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10635.9
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.

Step 8:
The number 27 fits into 170 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 10635.96
Deduct 162 from 170 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
27 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10635.962
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 260 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10635.9629
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.

On to step 11:
The number 27 fits into 170 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10635.96296
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.

Advancing to 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: 10635.962962
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 260 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10635.9629629
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10635.96296296
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.

Our division results in 10635.96296296 with a remaining 8e-09.
