Let's divide 588638 by 77
Our goal is to divide 588638 by 77.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 77

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 58 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 58, we end up with 58.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 588 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
77 goes into 588 7 times with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 539 from 588 to get 49.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 496 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 77 fits into 496 6 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 76.0
Subtracting 462 from 496 leaves us with 34.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 343 / 77

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 343 by 77, we get 4 with a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 764.0
Subtract 308 from 343 to get 35.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 35, then repeat: 358 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
358 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 50.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7644.0
Subtract 308 from 358 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 77 fits into 500 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7644.6
If we take 462 away from 500, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 77 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7644.64
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 308 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 77 fits into 720 9 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7644.649
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 693 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 270 by 77, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7644.6493
Subtract 231 from 270 to get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 390 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7644.64935
Deduct 385 from 390 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
50 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7644.64935
Subtract 0 from 50 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
500 divided by 77 is 6 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7644.6493506
Subtracting 462 from 500 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 77 fits into 380 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7644.64935064
If we subtract 308 from 380, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7644.64935064 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
