Let's divide 229958 by 77
We want to divide 229958 by 77.

Let's proceed to step 1:
77 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 77

Advancing to step 2:
77 goes into 22 0 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 77

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 229 by 77, we get 2 with a remainder of 75.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 154 from 229 leaves us with 75.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 759 / 77

On to step 4:
When dividing 759 by 77, we get 9 with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 693 from 759.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 665 / 77

Going ahead to step 5:
77 goes into 665 8 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 298.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 616 from 665.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 498 / 77

Step 6:
77 goes into 498 6 times with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2986.0
Deduct 462 from 498 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
360 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2986.4
If we subtract 308 from 360, we get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 520 by 77, we get 6 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.46
If we subtract 462 from 520, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
580 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2986.467
If we subtract 539 from 580, we get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 410 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2986.4675
Deduct 385 from 410 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 77 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.46753
If we subtract 231 from 250, we get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
77 goes into 190 2 times with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2986.467532
If we take 154 away from 190, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
77 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2986.4675324
Deduct 308 from 360 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 520 by 77, we get 6 with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2986.46753246
Deduct 462 from 520 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2986.46753246 with a balance of 5.8e-08.
