We divide 218597 by 76
Let's see how many times 76 fits into 218597.

Step 1:
76 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 76

On to step 2:
76 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 76

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 76, we get 2 with a remainder of 66.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 152 from 218 and we're left with 66.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 665 / 76

Advancing to step 4:
665 divided by 76 is 8 with a remainder of 57.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 608 from 665.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 57 and repeat the process: 579 / 76

Going ahead to step 5:
76 can be fit into 579 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 287.0
If we subtract 532 from 579, we get 47.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 477 / 76

Step 6:
76 can be fit into 477 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2876.0
Subtract 456 from 477 to get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
210 divided by 76 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2876.2
Subtract 152 from 210 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 76 fits into 580 7 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2876.27
If we take 532 away from 580, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2876.276
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 456 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
240 divided by 76 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2876.2763
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
76 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2876.27631
Subtracting 76 from 120 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
440 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2876.276315
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 380 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 76 fits into 600 7 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2876.2763157
If we subtract 532 from 600, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 680 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2876.27631578
If we take 608 away from 680, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 2876.27631578 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
