Let's divide 491846 by 27
We want to divide 491846 by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 27 from 49 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 221 / 27

Let's proceed to step 3:
27 goes into 221 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 216 from 221, we get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 27

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 58 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 182.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 54 from 58.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 27

Advancing to step 5:
27 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1821.0
Subtract 27 from 44 to get 17.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 176 / 27

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 27 fits into 176 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18216.0
Subtract 162 from 176 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.

Advancing to step 7:
27 can be fit into 140 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18216.5
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 135 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18216.51
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 9:
If we divide 230 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18216.518
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18216.5185
Subtracting 135 from 140 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
27 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18216.51851
Subtract 27 from 50 to 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.

On to step 12:
The number 27 fits into 230 8 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18216.518518
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 27 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18216.5185185
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
50 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18216.51851851
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.

Our division results in 18216.51851851 with a remaining 2.3e-08.
