Let's divide 555809 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 555809 can be divided by 27.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 27

Step 2:
The number 27 fits into 55 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 54 from 55, we get 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 15 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
158 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 205.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 135 from 158.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 230 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
27 goes into 230 8 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2058.0
If we subtract 216 from 230, we get 14.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 149 / 27

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 149 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 20585.0
Subtracting 135 from 149 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20585.5
Subtracting 135 from 140 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
50 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20585.51
Deduct 27 from 50 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 230 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20585.518
Subtracting 216 from 230 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 27 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20585.5185
Deduct 135 from 140 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20585.51851
Deduct 27 from 50 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
27 goes into 230 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20585.518518
If we take 216 away from 230, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20585.5185185
If we subtract 135 from 140, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
27 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20585.51851851
Subtract 27 from 50 to get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 20585.51851851 and a remainder of 2.3e-08.
