120973 divided by 77 
We want to divide 120973 by 77.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 77 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 77

Let's proceed to step 2:
77 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 0 from 12.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 120 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 120 by 77, we get 1 and a remainder of 43.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 77 from 120.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 439 / 77

Moving on to step 4:
77 goes into 439 5 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 385 from 439, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 547 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 547 by 77, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 157.0
Subtracting 539 from 547 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
83 divided by 77 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1571.0
Subtracting 77 from 83 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 77 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1571.0
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 0 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
600 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1571.07
Deduct 539 from 600 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 610 by 77, we get 7 and a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1571.077
Subtract 539 from 610 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1571.077 and a remainder of 0.0071.
