254973 divided by 77 
We want to figure out the number of times 254973 can be divided by 77.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 77

On to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 254 / 77

Let's proceed to step 3:
77 can be fit into 254 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 231 away from 254, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 239 / 77

Moving on to step 4:
The number 77 fits into 239 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 231 from 239, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 77

Moving on to step 5:
77 goes into 87 1 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 331.0
Subtracting 77 from 87 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 103 / 77

On to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 103 1 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3311.0
Subtract 77 from 103 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
77 can be fit into 260 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3311.3
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 231 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
77 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3311.33
If we take 231 away from 290, we end up with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3311.33 with a remaining 0.059.
