We're dividing 261711 by 77 
We're looking to find how many times 77 goes into 261711.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 77

Step 2:
26 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 26, then repeat: 261 / 77

Step 3:
If we divide 261 by 77, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 231 from 261 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 307 / 77

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 307 by 77, we get 3 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 231 from 307 leaves us with 76.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 761 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 761 by 77, we get 9 with a remainder of 68.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 339.0
Deduct 693 from 761 and we're left with 68.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 681 / 77

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 681 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3398.0
If we take 616 away from 681, we end up with 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 650 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 34.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3398.8
If we subtract 616 from 650, we get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 77 fits into 340 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3398.84
Subtracting 308 from 340 leaves us 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 9:
320 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3398.844
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 308 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3398.844, with a leftover of 0.0012.
