Let's divide 277983 by 86
We want to figure out the number of times 277983 can be divided by 86.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 86, we get 0 and 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.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 86

Advancing to step 2:
86 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 277 / 86

Step 3:
277 divided by 86 is 3 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 258 from 277.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 199 / 86

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 86 fits into 199 2 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 172 away from 199, we end up with 27.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 86

Step 5:
86 can be fit into 278 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 323.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 258 from 278.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 203 / 86

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 203 by 86, we get 2 with a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3232.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 172 from 203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
86 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3232.3
Subtract 258 from 310 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
86 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3232.36
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 516 from 520.
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:
86 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3232.36
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 86, we get 4 and a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3232.3604
Subtracting 344 from 400 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 560 by 86, we get 6 and a remainder of 44.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3232.36046
Subtract 516 from 560 to get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
440 divided by 86 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3232.360465
Subtract 430 from 440 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.

Advancing to step 13:
86 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3232.3604651
If we subtract 86 from 100, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
86 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3232.36046511
If we take 86 away from 140, 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.

The final result is 3232.36046511 with a remainder of 5.4e-08.
