We look at the division of 296916 by 77 
We want to divide 296916 by 77.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 77

Step 2:
When dividing 29 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 296 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
77 can be fit into 296 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 231 from 296 and we're left with 65.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 659 / 77

Step 4:
If we divide 659 by 77, we get 8 and a remainder of 43.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 616 from 659 to get 43.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 431 / 77

Going ahead to step 5:
431 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.0
Subtracting 385 from 431 leaves us with 46.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 466 / 77

Let's proceed to step 6:
77 goes into 466 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3856.0
Subtract 462 from 466 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 40 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3856.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
77 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3856.05
If we take 385 away from 400, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 150 by 77, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3856.051
Subtract 77 from 150 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 730 by 77, we get 9 with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3856.0519
Subtracting 693 from 730 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
370 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3856.05194
Subtracting 308 from 370 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
620 divided by 77 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3856.051948
Deduct 616 from 620 and we're left with 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 13:
40 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3856.051948
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 77 fits into 400 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3856.05194805
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 385 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3856.05194805 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
