Let's divide 283983 by 27
Our goal is to divide 283983 by 27.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 27, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
13 divided by 27 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 0 from 13.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 139 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
27 can be fit into 139 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 105.0
If we subtract 135 from 139, we get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 27

Step 5:
If we divide 48 by 27, we get 1 and a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1051.0
If we take 27 away from 48, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 213 / 27

Advancing to step 6:
The number 27 fits into 213 7 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10517.0
If we subtract 189 from 213, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 240 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10517.8
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
240 divided by 27 is 8 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10517.88
Deduct 216 from 240 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 10517.88, with a leftover of 0.024.
