We divide 144216 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 144216 can be divided by 27.

Going ahead 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.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 27

Advancing to step 2:
27 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 144 / 27

On to step 3:
27 can be fit into 144 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 135 from 144 to get 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 27

Step 4:
27 goes into 92 3 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 53.0
If we subtract 81 from 92, we get 11.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 111 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
111 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 534.0
Subtract 108 from 111 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 36 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5341.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 27 from 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
27 goes into 90 3 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5341.3
Deduct 81 from 90 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
90 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5341.33
If we subtract 81 from 90, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5341.33 with a remaining 0.009.
