We divide 216857 by 27
The aim is to understand the frequency of 27 in 216857.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 27

On to step 2:
27 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 216 / 27

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 216 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 216 from 216 to get 0.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 8 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
The number 27 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 85 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 803.0
If we subtract 81 from 85, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 27

Step 6:
The number 27 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8031.0
If we take 27 away from 47, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
27 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8031.7
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 189 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 27, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8031.74
Subtract 108 from 110 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 27 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8031.74
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
200 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8031.7407
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 189 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
110 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8031.74074
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 108 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 12:
20 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8031.74074
Deduct 0 from 20 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
200 divided by 27 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8031.7407407
Subtracting 189 from 200 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
27 goes into 110 4 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8031.74074074
Subtract 108 from 110 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8031.74074074, with a leftover of 2e-09.
