Let's divide 229937 by 77
Our goal is to divide 229937 by 77.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 77

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 77 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 77

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 229 by 77, we get 2 and a remainder of 75.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 154 away from 229, we end up with 75.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 759 / 77

Advancing to step 4:
77 goes into 759 9 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 693 from 759.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 663 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 663 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 47.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 298.0
If we take 616 away from 663, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 477 / 77

Moving on to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 477 6 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2986.0
Deduct 462 from 477 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
150 divided by 77 is 1 with a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2986.1
Subtracting 77 from 150 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
730 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 37.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2986.19
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 693 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
370 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2986.194
Subtract 308 from 370 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 77 fits into 620 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2986.1948
If we subtract 616 from 620, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 77 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2986.1948
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2986.194805
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 150 by 77, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2986.1948051
Subtract 77 from 150 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 730 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2986.19480519
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 693 from 730.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2986.19480519 with a balance of 3.7e-08.
