78587 divided by 27 
We want to divide 78587 by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
27 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 27

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 54 from 78 to get 24.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 245 / 27

On to step 3:
27 goes into 245 9 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 243 from 245.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 27

Step 4:
28 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 291.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
27 can be fit into 17 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2910.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 170 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2910.6
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 7:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2910.62
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 8:
The number 27 fits into 260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2910.629
Deduct 243 from 260 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 2910.6296
Deduct 162 from 170 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2910.62962
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.

Advancing to step 11:
27 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2910.629629
Subtracting 243 from 260 leaves us 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 12:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2910.6296296
Subtracting 162 from 170 leaves us 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 13:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2910.62962962
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.

After the division, we end up with 2910.62962962 and a remainder of 2.6e-08.
