We're dividing 998429 by 27 
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 998429.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 99 / 27

Let's proceed to step 2:
27 goes into 99 3 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 81 from 99 and we're left with 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 27

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 188 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 36.0
Subtract 162 from 188 to get 26.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 264 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 264 9 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 369.0
If we take 243 away from 264, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 212 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 23.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3697.0
Deduct 189 from 212 and we're left with 23.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 239 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
239 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36978.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 216 from 239.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
27 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 36978.8
Subtract 216 from 230 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36978.85
Subtract 135 from 140 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 36978.851
If we take 27 away from 50, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 27 fits into 230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 36978.8518
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 216 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36978.85185
Subtract 135 from 140 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
50 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36978.851851
If we subtract 27 from 50, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 27 fits into 230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36978.8518518
If we subtract 216 from 230, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 36978.85185185
If we take 135 away from 140, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 36978.85185185 with a balance of 5e-09.
