We look at the division of 277801 by 15 
We want to divide 277801 by 15.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 15, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 15

Step 2:
15 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 15 from 27 to get 12.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 127 / 15

On to step 3:
When dividing 127 by 15, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we take 120 away from 127, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 15

On to step 4:
If we divide 78 by 15, we get 5 and a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 185.0
Subtracting 75 from 78 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 30 / 15

Step 5:
30 divided by 15 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1852.0
Deduct 30 from 30 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 1 / 15

Going ahead to step 6:
1 divided by 15 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18520.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 15, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18520.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
15 can be fit into 100 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18520.06
Subtract 90 from 100 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
100 divided by 15 is 6 with a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 18520.066
Subtracting 90 from 100 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 18520.066 with a remaining 0.001.
