We divide 42088 by 27
We want to divide 42088 by 27.

Step 1:
4 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 27

Step 2:
If we divide 42 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 27 from 42 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 150 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
150 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 135 from 150 and we're left with 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
27 can be fit into 158 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
If we subtract 135 from 158, we get 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 238 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.0
If we take 216 away from 238, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 6:
The number 27 fits into 220 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.8
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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
27 goes into 40 1 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.81
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.

Step 8:
If we divide 130 by 27, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1558.814
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
27 goes into 220 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1558.8148
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 216 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
27 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1558.81481
If we subtract 27 from 40, we get 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 11:
27 goes into 130 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1558.814814
Subtracting 108 from 130 leaves us 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 12:
220 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1558.8148148
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
27 can be fit into 40 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1558.81481481
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.

After the division, we end up with 1558.81481481 and a remainder of 1.3e-08.
