We're dividing 538472 by 77 
Let's see how many times 77 fits into 538472.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 77

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 538 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
77 goes into 538 6 times with a remainder of 76.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 462 from 538 to get 76.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 764 / 77

Going ahead to step 4:
764 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtracting 693 from 764 leaves us with 71.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 71 and continue with: 717 / 77

Moving on to step 5:
77 goes into 717 9 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 699.0
Deduct 693 from 717 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 77

Moving on to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 242 3 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6993.0
Deduct 231 from 242 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
77 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6993.1
Subtracting 77 from 110 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
77 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6993.14
Subtracting 308 from 330 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 9:
The number 77 fits into 220 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6993.142
Subtract 154 from 220 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
77 can be fit into 660 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6993.1428
Deduct 616 from 660 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 77 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6993.14285
Deduct 385 from 440 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 550 by 77, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6993.142857
If we take 539 away from 550, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 13:
77 goes into 110 1 times with a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6993.1428571
Subtract 77 from 110 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6993.14285714
Subtracting 308 from 330 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6993.14285714 with a remaining 2.2e-08.
