We're dividing 687983 by 77 
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 687983.

Going ahead to step 1:
77 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 77

Advancing to step 2:
The number 77 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 68, we get 68.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 68 and continue: 687 / 77

Advancing to step 3:
77 goes into 687 8 times with a remainder of 71.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 616 from 687 leaves us with 71.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 719 / 77

Going ahead to step 4:
77 can be fit into 719 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 693 from 719.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 77

Step 5:
77 goes into 268 3 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 893.0
Subtract 231 from 268 to get 37.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 37 and repeat the process: 373 / 77

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 373 4 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8934.0
If we take 308 away from 373, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 77 fits into 650 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8934.8
If we take 616 away from 650, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 77, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8934.84
Deduct 308 from 340 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
77 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8934.844
If we subtract 308 from 320, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8934.844, with a leftover of 0.0012.
