Let's divide 12938 by 27
Our goal is to divide 12938 by 27.

On to step 1:
27 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
27 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 129 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 129 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 21.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 108 from 129 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 213 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 213 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtracting 189 from 213 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 248 / 27

On to step 5:
27 goes into 248 9 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtract 243 from 248 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 6:
When dividing 50 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.1
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.18
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.

Advancing to step 8:
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: 479.185
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 50 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.1851
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 27 from 50.
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:
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: 479.18518
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.

On to step 11:
140 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 479.185185
If we subtract 135 from 140, we 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 12:
The number 27 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 479.1851851
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 27 from 50.
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.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 479.18518518
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.

The final result is 479.18518518 with a remainder of 1.4e-08.
