We divide 972048 by 27
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 972048.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 27, we get 3 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 81 from 97 leaves us with 16.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 162 / 27

On to step 3:
When dividing 162 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36.0
If we subtract 162 from 162, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 0 / 27

Step 4:
The number 27 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 360.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 27

Step 5:
When dividing 4 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3600.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 27

On to step 6:
When dividing 48 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36001.0
If we subtract 27 from 48, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36001.7
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 189 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
210 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 21.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36001.77
If we take 189 away from 210, we end up with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Our division results in 36001.77 with a remaining 0.021.
