78850 divided by 27 
We want to divide 78850 by 27.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 27, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 27

On to step 2:
When dividing 78 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 54 from 78.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 248 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 243 from 248 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 27

Advancing to step 4:
55 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 292.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 54 from 55.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 10 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
27 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2920.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 100 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2920.3
If we subtract 81 from 100, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 27 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2920.37
If we take 189 away from 190, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
27 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2920.37
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
27 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2920.3703
Subtract 81 from 100 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 190 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2920.37037
Subtracting 189 from 190 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
10 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2920.37037
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
27 can be fit into 100 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2920.3703703
If we subtract 81 from 100, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 27 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2920.37037037
Deduct 189 from 190 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 2920.37037037 with a remainder of 1e-09.
