We're dividing 131983 by 27 
We're looking to find how many times 27 goes into 131983.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 27

Advancing to step 2:
13 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 13, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 131 / 27

Step 3:
27 can be fit into 131 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 108 from 131.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 27

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 239 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 23.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 48.0
Subtract 216 from 239 to get 23.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 238 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 238 by 27, we get 8 and a remainder of 22.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 488.0
Subtract 216 from 238 to get 22.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 223 / 27

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 27 fits into 223 8 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4888.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 216 from 223.
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 7:
The number 27 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4888.2
Deduct 54 from 70 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
160 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4888.25
Deduct 135 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 250 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4888.259
Deduct 243 from 250 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
70 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4888.2592
If we take 54 away from 70, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
160 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4888.25925
Subtract 135 from 160 to 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.

On to step 12:
27 goes into 250 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4888.259259
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.

On to step 13:
70 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4888.2592592
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 14:
160 divided by 27 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4888.25925925
Subtracting 135 from 160 leaves us 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.

The final result is 4888.25925925 with a remainder of 2.5e-08.
