Let's divide 462317 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 462317 can be divided by 27.

Step 1:
27 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 46 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 46 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 19.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 27 from 46.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 192 / 27

On to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 192 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 189 from 192.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 33 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 171.0
Deduct 27 from 33 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 27

On to step 5:
The number 27 fits into 61 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1712.0
Deduct 54 from 61 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
27 can be fit into 77 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17122.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 54 from 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
27 can be fit into 230 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17122.8
Subtract 216 from 230 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 27 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17122.85
If we take 135 away from 140, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
27 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17122.851
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 27 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
230 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17122.8518
If we subtract 216 from 230, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 27 fits into 140 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17122.85185
Deduct 135 from 140 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 12:
27 goes into 50 1 times with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17122.851851
Deduct 27 from 50 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 230 by 27, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17122.8518518
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 216 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 140 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17122.85185185
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 135 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 17122.85185185 and a remainder of 5e-09.
