We're dividing 218661 by 77 
We want to divide 218661 by 77.

Going ahead to step 1:
77 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 77

Going ahead to step 2:
21 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 77

Step 3:
When dividing 218 by 77, we get 2 with a remainder of 64.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 154 from 218 to get 64.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 64 and continue: 646 / 77

Moving on to step 4:
The number 77 fits into 646 8 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 616 away from 646, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 306 / 77

Moving on to step 5:
77 can be fit into 306 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 283.0
Subtract 231 from 306 to get 75.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 751 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 751 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2839.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 693 from 751.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
77 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2839.7
Subtract 539 from 580 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 410 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2839.75
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 385 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 77 fits into 250 3 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2839.753
Subtract 231 from 250 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
77 can be fit into 190 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2839.7532
Subtracting 154 from 190 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
77 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 52.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2839.75324
Subtract 308 from 360 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 77 fits into 520 6 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2839.753246
If we take 462 away from 520, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
77 goes into 580 7 times with a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2839.7532467
Subtracting 539 from 580 leaves us with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
410 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 25.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2839.75324675
Subtract 385 from 410 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2839.75324675, and the remainder is 2.5e-08.
