We divide 431242 by 27
We want to divide 431242 by 27.

Step 1:
27 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 27

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 43 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 27 from 43, we get 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 27

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 27, we get 5 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
Subtracting 135 from 161 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 262 / 27

Going ahead to step 4:
27 goes into 262 9 times with a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 159.0
Subtract 243 from 262 to get 19.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 194 / 27

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 194 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1597.0
If we take 189 away from 194, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 27

Going ahead to step 6:
52 divided by 27 is 1 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 15971.0
Subtract 27 from 52 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.

Moving on to step 7:
250 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15971.9
If we subtract 243 from 250, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 70 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15971.92
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.

Step 9:
When dividing 160 by 27, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15971.925
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:
250 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15971.9259
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
27 can be fit into 70 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15971.92592
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.

On to step 12:
When dividing 160 by 27, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15971.925925
If we take 135 away from 160, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 27 fits into 250 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15971.9259259
If we subtract 243 from 250, we get 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 14:
When dividing 70 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15971.92592592
Subtract 54 from 70 to get 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 15971.92592592, and the remainder is 1.6e-08.
