We divide 678998 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 678998 can be divided by 27.

Step 1:
The number 27 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 27

On to step 2:
27 can be fit into 67 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 54 away from 67, we end up with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 138 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 135 from 138.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 27

On to step 4:
When dividing 39 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 251.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 27 from 39.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
129 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2514.0
If we take 108 away from 129, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 27

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 218 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25148.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 216 from 218.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
27 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25148.0
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.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25148.07
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.

Step 9:
The number 27 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25148.074
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 10:
When dividing 20 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 25148.074
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 200 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25148.07407
Subtract 189 from 200 to get 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 12:
The number 27 fits into 110 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25148.074074
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 20 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25148.074074
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
27 goes into 200 7 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25148.07407407
If we take 189 away from 200, we end up 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.

Our division results in 25148.07407407 with a remaining 1.1e-08.
