We divide 278553 by 77
Our goal is to divide 278553 by 77.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 77

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 278 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
77 goes into 278 3 times with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 231 from 278, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 475 / 77

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 475 by 77, we get 6 and a remainder of 13.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
Deduct 462 from 475 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 135 / 77

On to step 5:
When dividing 135 by 77, we get 1 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 361.0
If we take 77 away from 135, we end up with 58.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 58, then carry on: 583 / 77

Step 6:
The number 77 fits into 583 7 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3617.0
If we subtract 539 from 583, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
77 goes into 440 5 times with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3617.5
If we subtract 385 from 440, we get 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 550 by 77, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3617.57
Deduct 539 from 550 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 77 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3617.571
If we subtract 77 from 110, we 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 10:
The number 77 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3617.5714
If we take 308 away from 330, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 220 by 77, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3617.57142
If we take 154 away from 220, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 660 by 77, we get 8 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3617.571428
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 616 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 440 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 55.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3617.5714285
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 385 from 440.
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 14:
550 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3617.57142857
Subtracting 539 from 550 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 3617.57142857 and a remainder of 1.1e-08.
