Let's divide 578608 by 27
We want to divide 578608 by 27.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 27

Step 2:
If we divide 57 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 54 from 57.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
27 can be fit into 38 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 27 from 38, we get 11.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 27

Step 4:
When dividing 116 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 214.0
If we subtract 108 from 116, we get 8.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 80 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 80 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2142.0
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 268 / 27

Step 6:
If we divide 268 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21429.0
If we take 243 away from 268, we end up 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 7:
27 goes into 250 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21429.9
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 243 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21429.92
Subtract 54 from 70 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
27 goes into 160 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21429.925
If we subtract 135 from 160, we get 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 10:
If we divide 250 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21429.9259
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
27 goes into 70 2 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21429.92592
Subtract 54 from 70 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
27 can be fit into 160 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21429.925925
If we subtract 135 from 160, we get 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 13:
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: 21429.9259259
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.

Step 14:
27 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21429.92592592
If we subtract 54 from 70, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 21429.92592592 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
