We divide 978544 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 978544 can be divided by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
97 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 81 from 97 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 168 / 27

Let's proceed to step 3:
168 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 162 from 168 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 65 / 27

On to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 65 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 362.0
Deduct 54 from 65 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 114 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3624.0
Deduct 108 from 114 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 27

On to step 6:
64 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 36242.0
Deduct 54 from 64 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 36242.3
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
190 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36242.37
If we take 189 away from 190, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36242.37
Deduct 0 from 10 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 10:
27 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36242.3703
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 27 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 36242.37037
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
27 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36242.37037
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 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 13:
100 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 36242.3703703
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.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 27 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 36242.37037037
If we take 189 away from 190, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 36242.37037037 with a balance of 1e-09.
