Let's divide 217061 by 76
We're looking to find how many times 76 goes into 217061.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 76

On to step 2:
If we divide 21 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 76

Step 3:
The number 76 fits into 217 2 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 152 away from 217, we end up with 65.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 650 / 76

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 650 by 76, we get 8 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Deduct 608 from 650 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 426 / 76

On to step 5:
76 goes into 426 5 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 285.0
Subtract 380 from 426 to get 46.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 461 / 76

Moving on to step 6:
The number 76 fits into 461 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2856.0
Subtract 456 from 461 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
76 can be fit into 50 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2856.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
76 can be fit into 500 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2856.06
Subtracting 456 from 500 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
440 divided by 76 is 5 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2856.065
If we subtract 380 from 440, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 600 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 68.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2856.0657
If we take 532 away from 600, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
680 divided by 76 is 8 with a remainder of 72.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2856.06578
Deduct 608 from 680 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 76 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2856.065789
Subtracting 684 from 720 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
76 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 56.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2856.0657894
If we take 304 away from 360, we end up 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.

Step 14:
560 divided by 76 is 7 with a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2856.06578947
If we subtract 532 from 560, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2856.06578947, with a leftover of 2.8e-08.
