We're dividing 257884 by 76 
We want to figure out the number of times 257884 can be divided by 76.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 76

Step 2:
The number 76 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 257 / 76

Going ahead to step 3:
76 can be fit into 257 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 228 from 257.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 76

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 298 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 228 from 298.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 708 / 76

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 708 by 76, we get 9 with a remainder of 24.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 339.0
If we take 684 away from 708, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 244 / 76

On to step 6:
When dividing 244 by 76, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3393.0
If we take 228 away from 244, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
160 divided by 76 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3393.2
If we subtract 152 from 160, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 76 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3393.21
Subtracting 76 from 80 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3393.21
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
400 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3393.2105
Subtract 380 from 400 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 200 by 76, we get 2 and a remainder of 48.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3393.21052
If we take 152 away from 200, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 76, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3393.210526
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 456 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3393.2105263
Subtract 228 from 240 to 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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 120 by 76, we get 1 and a remainder of 44.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3393.21052631
If we take 76 away from 120, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3393.21052631 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
