1177 ÷ 21 
We want to divide 1177 by 21.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 21, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 21

Advancing to step 2:
21 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 21

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 117 by 21, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 105 away from 117, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 127 / 21

On to step 4:
The number 21 fits into 127 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
Subtract 126 from 127 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.

Step 5:
The number 21 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
100 divided by 21 is 4 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.04
Subtracting 84 from 100 leaves us 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 7:
When dividing 160 by 21, we get 7 with a remainder of 13.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.047
Subtract 147 from 160 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 21 fits into 130 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0476
Subtract 126 from 130 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 21, we get 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 56.04761
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 21 from 40.
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 10:
When dividing 190 by 21, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.047619
If we subtract 189 from 190, we 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.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 10 by 21, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 56.047619
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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 12:
If we divide 100 by 21, we get 4 and a remainder of 16.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 56.04761904
Deduct 84 from 100 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 56.04761904 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
