Let's divide 178724 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 178724 can be divided by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 27

Step 2:
When dividing 17 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 27

On to step 3:
178 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 162 from 178 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 167 / 27

Step 4:
167 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 66.0
Deduct 162 from 167 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 27

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 52 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 661.0
Deduct 27 from 52 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 254 / 27

On to step 6:
When dividing 254 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6619.0
Deduct 243 from 254 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
110 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6619.4
If we take 108 away from 110, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6619.4
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 9:
27 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6619.407
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 10:
When dividing 110 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6619.4074
If we subtract 108 from 110, we 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 11:
When dividing 20 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6619.4074
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.

Moving on to step 12:
27 can be fit into 200 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6619.407407
Deduct 189 from 200 and we're left 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 13:
When dividing 110 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6619.4074074
Deduct 108 from 110 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
27 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6619.4074074
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6619.4074074 with a remaining 2e-08.
