Let's divide 490843 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 490843 can be divided by 27.

Step 1:
27 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 27

On to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 27 from 49 and we're left with 22.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 220 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
48 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 181.0
If we take 27 away from 48, we end up with 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
214 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1817.0
If we take 189 away from 214, we end up with 25.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 253 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 253 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.0
Deduct 243 from 253 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18179.3
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.

Step 8:
27 goes into 190 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.37
Deduct 189 from 190 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
10 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.37
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 100 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18179.3703
Subtracting 81 from 100 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 190 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18179.37037
Subtract 189 from 190 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.

On to step 12:
27 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18179.37037
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Step 13:
100 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18179.3703703
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 81 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 27 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18179.37037037
Deduct 189 from 190 and we're left 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.

The final result is 18179.37037037 with a remainder of 1e-09.
