We're dividing 271802 by 77 
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 271802.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 77

Step 2:
When dividing 27 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 271 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 271 by 77, we get 3 with a remainder of 40.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 231 from 271 and we're left with 40.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 408 / 77

Step 4:
408 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 35.0
Subtract 385 from 408 to get 23.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 230 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
77 can be fit into 230 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 352.0
If we take 154 away from 230, we end up with 76.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 762 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
77 goes into 762 9 times with a remainder of 69.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3529.0
Subtracting 693 from 762 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
77 goes into 690 8 times with a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3529.8
If we subtract 616 from 690, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 8:
740 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3529.89
If we subtract 693 from 740, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 77 fits into 470 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3529.896
Subtract 462 from 470 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 80 by 77, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3529.8961
Subtract 77 from 80 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
30 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3529.8961
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
300 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3529.896103
Deduct 231 from 300 and we're left with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 690 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3529.8961038
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 616 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 740 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3529.89610389
Subtracting 693 from 740 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

The final result is 3529.89610389 with a remainder of 4.7e-08.
