We're dividing 217296 by 77 
We want to divide 217296 by 77.

Advancing to step 1:
77 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 77

On to step 2:
77 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 77

On to step 3:
77 can be fit into 217 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 154 from 217.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 632 / 77

On to step 4:
When dividing 632 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 616 from 632 leaves us with 16.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 169 / 77

Step 5:
77 goes into 169 2 times with a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 282.0
Deduct 154 from 169 and we're left with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
77 can be fit into 156 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2822.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 154 from 156.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 77 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2822.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
200 divided by 77 is 2 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2822.02
If we take 154 away from 200, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
77 goes into 460 5 times with a remainder of 75.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2822.025
The remainder is 75 after subtracting 385 from 460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 750 by 77, we get 9 with a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2822.0259
Subtract 693 from 750 to get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 77 fits into 570 7 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2822.02597
If we subtract 539 from 570, we get 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 310 by 77, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2822.025974
Deduct 308 from 310 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2822.025974
Subtracting 0 from 20 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
77 can be fit into 200 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2822.02597402
Subtracting 154 from 200 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2822.02597402 with a remaining 4.6e-08.
