Let's divide 740492 by 27
We want to divide 740492 by 27.

On to step 1:
27 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 74 / 27

Step 2:
27 goes into 74 2 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 54 away from 74, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 200 / 27

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 200 by 27, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 189 from 200, we get 11.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 114 / 27

On to step 4:
When dividing 114 by 27, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 274.0
If we take 108 away from 114, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 27

Moving on to step 5:
69 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2742.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 54 from 69.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 152 / 27

On to step 6:
When dividing 152 by 27, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27425.0
Subtracting 135 from 152 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
The number 27 fits into 170 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27425.6
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
27 can be fit into 80 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27425.62
Subtracting 54 from 80 leaves us with 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 9:
27 goes into 260 9 times with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27425.629
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
170 divided by 27 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27425.6296
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 11:
If we divide 80 by 27, we get 2 and a remainder of 26.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27425.62962
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.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 27 fits into 260 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 27425.629629
Subtracting 243 from 260 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 170 by 27, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27425.6296296
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
80 divided by 27 is 2 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 27425.62962962
If we take 54 away from 80, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Our division results in 27425.62962962 with a remaining 2.6e-08.
