We're dividing 581462 by 77 
Our goal is to divide 581462 by 77.

On to step 1:
77 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 77

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 0 from 58.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 581 / 77

Step 3:
When dividing 581 by 77, we get 7 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 539 from 581, we get 42.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 424 / 77

Step 4:
When dividing 424 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 75.0
If we take 385 away from 424, we end up with 39.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 396 / 77

Advancing to step 5:
396 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 755.0
Subtract 385 from 396 to get 11.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 112 / 77

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 112 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7551.0
Subtract 77 from 112 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 77 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 7551.4
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 308 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
420 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7551.45
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 385 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 350 by 77, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7551.454
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 308 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 420 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7551.4545
Subtract 385 from 420 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 350 by 77, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7551.45454
If we take 308 away from 350, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
77 can be fit into 420 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7551.454545
Subtract 385 from 420 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 77 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7551.4545454
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 308 from 350.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 420 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7551.45454545
Deduct 385 from 420 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The final result is 7551.45454545 with a remainder of 3.5e-08.
