Let's divide 542154 by 27
We want to divide 542154 by 27.

Step 1:
5 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 54 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 54 from 54, we get 0.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 2 / 27

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 2 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 27

Step 4:
The number 27 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 200.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 215 / 27

Step 5:
The number 27 fits into 215 7 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2007.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 189 from 215.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 26 and repeat the process: 264 / 27

On to step 6:
If we divide 264 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 21.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20079.0
Subtracting 243 from 264 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
27 can be fit into 210 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20079.7
Subtract 189 from 210 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 210 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20079.77
Subtract 189 from 210 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20079.77, and the remainder is 0.021.
