Let's divide 408572 by 77
We want to divide 408572 by 77.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 77

On to step 2:
77 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 40 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 408 / 77

On to step 3:
408 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 385 from 408, we get 23.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 235 / 77

Step 4:
77 goes into 235 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 53.0
Subtract 231 from 235 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 77

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 47 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 47.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 530.0
Subtract 0 from 47 to get 47.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 47 and continue with: 472 / 77

On to step 6:
When dividing 472 by 77, we get 6 with a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.0
Subtract 462 from 472 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 77 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5306.1
If we subtract 77 from 100, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 230 by 77, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.12
If we take 154 away from 230, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
760 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5306.129
Subtracting 693 from 760 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 670 by 77, we get 8 and a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5306.1298
If we take 616 away from 670, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
77 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 5306.12987
Subtract 539 from 540 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
77 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5306.12987
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 100 by 77, we get 1 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5306.1298701
If we subtract 77 from 100, we get 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 230 by 77, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5306.12987012
If we subtract 154 from 230, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

The final result is 5306.12987012 with a remainder of 7.6e-08.
