We divide 494261 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 494261 can be divided by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 27 from 49, we get 22.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 224 / 27

Step 3:
When dividing 224 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 216 from 224 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 27

Step 4:
27 goes into 82 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we subtract 81 from 82, we get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
27 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1830.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 161 / 27

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 161 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18305.0
If we take 135 away from 161, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 260 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18305.9
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:
27 goes into 170 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18305.96
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 27 fits into 80 2 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18305.962
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 260 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18305.9629
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.

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: 18305.96296
Subtracting 162 from 170 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 80 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18305.962962
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up 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 13:
260 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 18305.9629629
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 14:
If we divide 170 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18305.96296296
Subtracting 162 from 170 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 18305.96296296 with a remaining 8e-09.
