642989 divided by 77 
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 642989.

Advancing to step 1:
77 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 64 / 77

On to step 2:
If we divide 64 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 642 / 77

Advancing to step 3:
77 goes into 642 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 616 from 642 leaves us with 26.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 269 / 77

Advancing to step 4:
77 can be fit into 269 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83.0
If we take 231 away from 269, we end up with 38.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 388 / 77

Step 5:
388 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 835.0
If we take 385 away from 388, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 39 / 77

Going ahead to step 6:
77 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8350.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 0 from 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
77 can be fit into 390 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8350.5
Subtract 385 from 390 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
77 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8350.5
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
77 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8350.506
If we subtract 462 from 500, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
380 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8350.5064
Subtracting 308 from 380 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
720 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8350.50649
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 693 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 12:
270 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8350.506493
Subtract 231 from 270 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
77 goes into 390 5 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8350.5064935
If we subtract 385 from 390, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 14:
77 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8350.5064935
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 0 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8350.5064935 with a balance of 5e-08.
