We're dividing 422864 by 27 
We want to divide 422864 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.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 27

Moving on to step 2:
27 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 27 from 42.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 152 / 27

Moving on to step 3:
The number 27 fits into 152 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 135 away from 152, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 178 / 27

Step 4:
If we divide 178 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 156.0
If we take 162 away from 178, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 166 / 27

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 27 fits into 166 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1566.0
Subtract 162 from 166 to get 4.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 44 / 27

Moving on to step 6:
27 can be fit into 44 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15661.0
Deduct 27 from 44 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15661.6
If we take 162 away from 170, we end up 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 8:
When dividing 80 by 27, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15661.62
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 9:
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: 15661.629
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
27 goes into 170 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 15661.6296
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15661.62962
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 27 fits into 260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15661.629629
If we subtract 243 from 260, we 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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 170 by 27, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15661.6296296
Subtracting 162 from 170 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15661.62962962
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 54 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final result is 15661.62962962 with a remainder of 2.6e-08.
