296873 ÷ 77 
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 296873.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 77

Moving on to step 2:
29 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 296 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
77 goes into 296 3 times with a remainder of 65.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 231 from 296.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 658 / 77

Moving on to step 4:
The number 77 fits into 658 8 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 616 from 658, we get 42.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 427 / 77

On to step 5:
If we divide 427 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385.0
Subtract 385 from 427 to get 42.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 423 / 77

Step 6:
The number 77 fits into 423 5 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3855.0
Subtract 385 from 423 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 77, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3855.4
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 308 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 77 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3855.49
Subtracting 693 from 720 leaves us with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 9:
77 can be fit into 270 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3855.493
Subtracting 231 from 270 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Step 10:
77 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3855.4935
Deduct 385 from 390 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
50 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3855.4935
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
77 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3855.493506
If we take 462 away from 500, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
380 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3855.4935064
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 308 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3855.49350649
If we subtract 693 from 720, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3855.49350649 with a balance of 2.7e-08.
