Let's divide 214981 by 77
We want to divide 214981 by 77.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 77

Going ahead to step 2:
77 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 214 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 214 by 77, we get 2 and a remainder of 60.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 154 from 214 and we're left with 60.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 60 and continue with: 609 / 77

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 609 by 77, we get 7 and a remainder of 70.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 539 from 609 to get 70.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 708 / 77

On to step 5:
77 can be fit into 708 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 279.0
If we subtract 693 from 708, we get 15.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 151 / 77

Moving on to step 6:
151 divided by 77 is 1 with a remainder of 74.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2791.0
If we subtract 77 from 151, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
77 can be fit into 740 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2791.9
If we take 693 away from 740, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
77 goes into 470 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2791.96
If we subtract 462 from 470, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
77 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2791.961
If we take 77 away from 80, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 30 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2791.961
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
300 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2791.96103
Subtract 231 from 300 to get 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
690 divided by 77 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2791.961038
Deduct 616 from 690 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
740 divided by 77 is 9 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2791.9610389
If we subtract 693 from 740, we get 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 470 by 77, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2791.96103896
If we subtract 462 from 470, 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.

The quotient of the division is 2791.96103896, and the remainder is 8e-09.
