We're dividing 551458 by 77 
We want to divide 551458 by 77.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 77

Step 2:
55 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 55 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 551 / 77

On to step 3:
551 divided by 77 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 539 from 551 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
77 goes into 124 1 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 71.0
If we take 77 away from 124, we end up with 47.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 47 and repeat the process: 475 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 475 by 77, we get 6 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 716.0
Deduct 462 from 475 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 138 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7161.0
Deduct 77 from 138 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.

On to step 7:
77 can be fit into 610 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7161.7
Subtracting 539 from 610 leaves us with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
77 can be fit into 710 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7161.79
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 693 from 710.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
170 divided by 77 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7161.792
If we subtract 154 from 170, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 10:
77 goes into 160 2 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7161.7922
Subtract 154 from 160 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7161.7922, and the remainder is 6e-05.
