We're dividing 617724 by 77 
We want to figure out the number of times 617724 can be divided by 77.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 77 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 77

On to step 2:
If we divide 61 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 61.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 61, we end up with 61.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 61 and continue with: 617 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
77 can be fit into 617 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtract 616 from 617 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 77

On to step 4:
17 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 80.0
If we subtract 0 from 17, we get 17.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 172 / 77

Step 5:
The number 77 fits into 172 2 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 802.0
If we take 154 away from 172, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 184 / 77

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 184 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8022.0
If we subtract 154 from 184, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 300 by 77, we get 3 and a remainder of 69.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8022.3
If we take 231 away from 300, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 690 by 77, we get 8 and a remainder of 74.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8022.38
If we subtract 616 from 690, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 740 by 77, we get 9 with a remainder of 47.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8022.389
Subtract 693 from 740 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
77 can be fit into 470 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8022.3896
Subtract 462 from 470 to 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 77 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8022.38961
Deduct 77 from 80 and we're left 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 12:
77 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8022.38961
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
300 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 69.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8022.3896103
If we subtract 231 from 300, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
77 can be fit into 690 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8022.38961038
If we take 616 away from 690, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 8022.38961038 and a remainder of 7.4e-08.
