Let's divide 486972 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 486972 can be divided by 27.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
48 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 27 from 48 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 216 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 216 8 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 216 from 216.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 9 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
27 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 27

On to step 5:
97 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1803.0
If we take 81 away from 97, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 162 / 27

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 162 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18036.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 162 from 162.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 7:
0 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18036.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
27 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18036.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 18036.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
