We divide 21844657 by 77
Our goal is to divide 21844657 by 77.

On to step 1:
77 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 77

Moving on to step 2:
77 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 218 / 77

Step 3:
The number 77 fits into 218 2 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 154 from 218 leaves us with 64.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 644 / 77

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 644 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 616 from 644 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 284 / 77

Advancing to step 5:
The number 77 fits into 284 3 times, leaving a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 283.0
Subtract 231 from 284 to get 53.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 53 and repeat the process: 536 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
77 can be fit into 536 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2836.0
Subtracting 462 from 536 leaves us with 74.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 745 / 77

Advancing to step 7:
77 goes into 745 9 times with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 28369.0
Subtract 693 from 745 to get 52.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 527 / 77

Advancing to step 8:
77 goes into 527 6 times with a remainder of 65.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 283696.0
If we subtract 462 from 527, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
77 goes into 650 8 times with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 283696.8
Subtracting 616 from 650 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 340 by 77, we get 4 with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 283696.84
Deduct 308 from 340 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 283696.844
If we subtract 308 from 320, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 283696.844 with a balance of 0.0012.
