Let's divide 288997 by 27
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 288997.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 27

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 27 from 28 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
18 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we subtract 0 from 18, we get 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 27

Step 4:
The number 27 fits into 189 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 107.0
If we take 189 away from 189, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 27

On to step 5:
If we divide 9 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1070.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 27

On to step 6:
When dividing 97 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10703.0
Subtracting 81 from 97 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
160 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10703.5
Deduct 135 from 160 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 250 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10703.59
Subtracting 243 from 250 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 70 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10703.592
Subtracting 54 from 70 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
160 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10703.5925
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 135 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
250 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10703.59259
If we subtract 243 from 250, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
27 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10703.592592
Deduct 54 from 70 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
27 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10703.5925925
Subtracting 135 from 160 leaves us with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 14:
250 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10703.59259259
Deduct 243 from 250 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10703.59259259 with a balance of 7e-09.
