We're dividing 242536 by 77 
We want to figure out the number of times 242536 can be divided by 77.

Let's proceed to step 1:
77 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 24 / 77

Step 2:
24 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
The number 77 fits into 242 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 231 from 242 to get 11.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 115 by 77, we get 1 with a remainder of 38.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 77 from 115 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 383 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 383 by 77, we get 4 with a remainder of 75.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 314.0
If we take 308 away from 383, we end up with 75.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 75 and repeat the process: 756 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
77 goes into 756 9 times with a remainder of 63.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3149.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 693 from 756.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 7:
630 divided by 77 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3149.8
Subtract 616 from 630 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 77 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3149.81
Deduct 77 from 140 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 630 by 77, we get 8 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3149.818
If we subtract 616 from 630, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
77 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3149.8181
If we take 77 away from 140, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 630 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3149.81818
If we take 616 away from 630, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
77 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3149.818181
Subtracting 77 from 140 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
77 goes into 630 8 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3149.8181818
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 616 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3149.81818181
Deduct 77 from 140 and we're left with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3149.81818181 with a balance of 6.3e-08.
