Let's divide 726686 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 726686 can be divided by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 18.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 54 away from 72, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 186 / 27

On to step 3:
When dividing 186 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 162 from 186, we get 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
27 can be fit into 246 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 269.0
If we take 243 away from 246, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 27 fits into 38 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2691.0
If we subtract 27 from 38, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 116 / 27

Moving on to step 6:
The number 27 fits into 116 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 26914.0
Subtract 108 from 116 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26914.2
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26914.29
Subtract 243 from 260 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 9:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26914.296
Deduct 162 from 170 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 80 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26914.2962
If we subtract 54 from 80, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
260 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26914.29629
Subtracting 243 from 260 leaves us with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26914.296296
Deduct 162 from 170 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
27 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26914.2962962
Subtract 54 from 80 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 14:
27 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26914.29629629
If we take 243 away from 260, we end up with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 26914.29629629, with a leftover of 1.7e-08.
