We divide 471688 by 27
We want to figure out the number of times 471688 can be divided by 27.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 27

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 27 fits into 47 1 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 27 from 47, we get 20.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 201 / 27

Step 3:
27 goes into 201 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 189 from 201 and we're left with 12.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 126 / 27

Let's proceed to step 4:
126 divided by 27 is 4 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 108 from 126 to get 18.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 188 / 27

Step 5:
The number 27 fits into 188 6 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1746.0
Subtract 162 from 188 to get 26.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 27

Step 6:
27 can be fit into 268 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17469.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 243 from 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 250 by 27, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17469.9
If we take 243 away from 250, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 70 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17469.92
If we take 54 away from 70, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 27 fits into 160 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17469.925
Subtract 135 from 160 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 250 by 27, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17469.9259
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 243 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
70 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17469.92592
Subtracting 54 from 70 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17469.925925
Deduct 135 from 160 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
27 goes into 250 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 17469.9259259
Subtracting 243 from 250 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 70 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17469.92592592
Deduct 54 from 70 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 17469.92592592, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
