Let's divide 537958 by 27
Our goal is to divide 537958 by 27.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 27 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 27

On to step 2:
27 goes into 53 1 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 27 from 53 to get 26.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 267 / 27

On to step 3:
267 divided by 27 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 243 from 267 to get 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 249 / 27

Moving on to step 4:
27 can be fit into 249 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
Deduct 243 from 249 and we're left with 6.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 65 / 27

Step 5:
The number 27 fits into 65 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1992.0
If we take 54 away from 65, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 27

On to step 6:
27 can be fit into 118 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19924.0
Subtract 108 from 118 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19924.3
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 81 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 190 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19924.37
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 189 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 10 by 27, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19924.37
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
100 divided by 27 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 19924.3703
If we take 81 away from 100, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 190 by 27, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19924.37037
Subtract 189 from 190 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 27 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19924.37037
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 100 by 27, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19924.3703703
If we take 81 away from 100, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 27 fits into 190 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19924.37037037
Deduct 189 from 190 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final result is 19924.37037037 with a remainder of 1e-09.
