We divide 177971 by 57
We want to figure out the number of times 177971 can be divided by 57.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 57 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 57

Step 2:
57 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 177 / 57

Going ahead to step 3:
177 divided by 57 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 171 from 177 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 69 / 57

On to step 4:
69 divided by 57 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 57 from 69 leaves us with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 57

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 127 by 57, we get 2 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 114 from 127, we get 13.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 131 / 57

Step 6:
If we divide 131 by 57, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3122.0
Subtract 114 from 131 to get 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
170 divided by 57 is 2 with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3122.2
Subtract 114 from 170 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 57 fits into 560 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3122.29
Subtracting 513 from 560 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
470 divided by 57 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3122.298
Deduct 456 from 470 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
57 goes into 140 2 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3122.2982
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 114 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 57 fits into 260 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3122.29824
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 228 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 57 fits into 320 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3122.298245
Deduct 285 from 320 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
350 divided by 57 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3122.2982456
If we subtract 342 from 350, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 57, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3122.29824561
If we take 57 away from 80, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3122.29824561 with a balance of 2.3e-08.
