288971 divided by 77 
Our goal is to divide 288971 by 77.

Advancing to step 1:
77 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 77

Step 2:
77 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 288 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
77 can be fit into 288 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 57 after subtracting 231 from 288.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 579 / 77

On to step 4:
If we divide 579 by 77, we get 7 and a remainder of 40.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
If we take 539 away from 579, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 407 / 77

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 407 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 22.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 375.0
Deduct 385 from 407 and we're left with 22.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 221 / 77

Step 6:
The number 77 fits into 221 2 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3752.0
If we take 154 away from 221, we end up with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
77 can be fit into 670 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3752.8
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 616 from 670.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 77 fits into 540 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3752.87
Subtracting 539 from 540 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 77, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3752.87
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
100 divided by 77 is 1 with a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3752.8701
Deduct 77 from 100 and we're left with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 77 fits into 230 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3752.87012
If we take 154 away from 230, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
77 can be fit into 760 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3752.870129
The remainder is 67 after subtracting 693 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
77 can be fit into 670 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3752.8701298
If we subtract 616 from 670, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
77 can be fit into 540 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3752.87012987
Subtract 539 from 540 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3752.87012987, with a leftover of 1e-09.
