We divide 48986 by 27
The aim is to understand the frequency of 27 in 48986.

On to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 27 from 48 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 219 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 216 from 219 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 27

Step 4:
The number 27 fits into 38 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 27 from 38 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 116 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
27 can be fit into 116 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1814.0
If we take 108 away from 116, we end up 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 6:
If we divide 80 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1814.2
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1814.29
Subtract 243 from 260 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 170 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1814.296
If we subtract 162 from 170, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 80 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.2962
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 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 10:
If we divide 260 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1814.29629
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
27 can be fit into 170 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1814.296296
Subtract 162 from 170 to get 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 12:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1814.2962962
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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 260 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1814.29629629
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 1814.29629629 with a balance of 1.7e-08.
