We divide 271996 by 77
We want to divide 271996 by 77.

Advancing to step 1:
77 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 77

Step 2:
The number 77 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 271 / 77

On to step 3:
271 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 231 from 271 to get 40.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 40, then carry on: 409 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
409 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 385 from 409 and we're left with 24.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 249 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 249 by 77, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 353.0
Subtract 231 from 249 to get 18.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 186 / 77

Going ahead to step 6:
77 goes into 186 2 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3532.0
Deduct 154 from 186 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
The number 77 fits into 320 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3532.4
Subtract 308 from 320 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 77 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3532.41
Subtract 77 from 120 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 77 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3532.415
Deduct 385 from 430 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 450 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3532.4155
If we take 385 away from 450, 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.

The quotient of the division is 3532.4155, and the remainder is 0.00065.
