481531 ÷ 27 
We want to figure out the number of times 481531 can be divided by 27.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 27 from 48 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 211 / 27

On to step 3:
When dividing 211 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 22.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 189 from 211.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 225 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 178.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 216 from 225.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 93 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 27 fits into 93 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1783.0
If we subtract 81 from 93, we get 12.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 121 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
121 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17834.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 108 from 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
27 goes into 130 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17834.4
Subtract 108 from 130 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 220 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17834.48
If we subtract 216 from 220, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
27 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17834.481
Deduct 27 from 40 and we're left with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
130 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17834.4814
Deduct 108 from 130 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
220 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17834.48148
Deduct 216 from 220 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 40 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 17834.481481
Subtracting 27 from 40 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 27 fits into 130 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17834.4814814
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 108 from 130.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 27 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17834.48148148
If we take 216 away from 220, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

The final result is 17834.48148148 with a remainder of 4e-09.
