We look at the division of 987877 by 27 
Let's see how many times 27 fits into 987877.

Moving on to step 1:
27 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 27

Advancing to step 2:
98 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 81 away from 98, we end up with 17.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 177 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
27 goes into 177 6 times with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 162 from 177.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 158 / 27

Going ahead to step 4:
158 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 365.0
Subtracting 135 from 158 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 237 / 27

On to step 5:
When dividing 237 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3658.0
Deduct 216 from 237 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 27

On to step 6:
27 can be fit into 217 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36588.0
Subtract 216 from 217 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
27 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36588.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
100 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36588.03
If we subtract 81 from 100, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 190 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 36588.037
If we take 189 away from 190, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36588.037
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 100 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36588.03703
Subtract 81 from 100 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
27 can be fit into 190 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36588.037037
If we subtract 189 from 190, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 10 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36588.037037
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 27 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36588.03703703
If we subtract 81 from 100, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Our division results in 36588.03703703 with a remaining 1.9e-08.
