We divide 461639 by 77
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 461639.

On to step 1:
77 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 77

Advancing to step 2:
The number 77 fits into 46 0 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 46, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 461 / 77

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 461 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 385 from 461, we get 76.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 766 / 77

Moving on to step 4:
77 can be fit into 766 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 693 from 766.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 73 and continue: 733 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 77 fits into 733 9 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 599.0
Subtracting 693 from 733 leaves us with 40.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 409 / 77

Moving on to step 6:
77 can be fit into 409 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5995.0
If we take 385 away from 409, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 7:
77 goes into 240 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5995.3
If we subtract 231 from 240, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
77 goes into 90 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5995.31
Subtract 77 from 90 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 130 by 77, we get 1 and a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5995.311
Deduct 77 from 130 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5995.311 with a remaining 0.0053.
