989873 ÷ 27 
We want to divide 989873 by 27.

Step 1:
27 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
27 can be fit into 98 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 81 from 98 leaves us with 17.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 179 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
27 can be fit into 179 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we take 162 away from 179, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 178 / 27

On to step 4:
27 goes into 178 6 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 366.0
If we subtract 162 from 178, we get 16.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 167 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
27 goes into 167 6 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3666.0
Subtracting 162 from 167 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
53 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36661.0
If we take 27 away from 53, 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 7:
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: 36661.9
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 243 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 36661.96
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 162 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
27 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 36661.962
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 36661.9629
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36661.96296
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.

Moving on to step 12:
27 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36661.962962
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 13:
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: 36661.9629629
If we take 243 away from 260, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36661.96296296
If we take 162 away from 170, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 36661.96296296 with a balance of 8e-09.
