We're dividing 536989 by 77 
Our goal is to divide 536989 by 77.

On to step 1:
The number 77 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 77

Step 2:
If we divide 53 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 536 / 77

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 536 by 77, we get 6 and a remainder of 74.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 462 from 536 leaves us with 74.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 74, then carry on: 749 / 77

Advancing to step 4:
749 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtracting 693 from 749 leaves us with 56.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 568 / 77

Advancing to step 5:
568 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 697.0
Deduct 539 from 568 and we're left with 29.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 299 / 77

Moving on to step 6:
299 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 68.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6973.0
Deduct 231 from 299 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 77 fits into 680 8 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6973.8
If we take 616 away from 680, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 640 by 77, we get 8 and a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6973.88
Subtract 616 from 640 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6973.88 with a balance of 0.024.
