We divide 286983 by 77
Our goal is to divide 286983 by 77.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 77

Step 2:
28 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 286 / 77

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 77 fits into 286 3 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 231 from 286 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 559 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 559 by 77, we get 7 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 539 away from 559, we end up with 20.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 208 / 77

Step 5:
208 divided by 77 is 2 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 372.0
Subtracting 154 from 208 leaves us with 54.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 543 / 77

Moving on to step 6:
543 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3727.0
If we subtract 539 from 543, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 40 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3727.0
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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3727.05
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 150 by 77, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3727.051
Subtract 77 from 150 to get 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 730 by 77, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3727.0519
Deduct 693 from 730 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
370 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3727.05194
Subtract 308 from 370 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
620 divided by 77 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3727.051948
Subtracting 616 from 620 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 40 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3727.051948
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 14:
77 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3727.05194805
If we subtract 385 from 400, we get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3727.05194805 with a balance of 1.5e-08.
