272437 ÷ 77 
We want to divide 272437 by 77.

Step 1:
2 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 77

On to step 2:
77 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 272 / 77

Advancing to step 3:
272 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 231 from 272 and we're left with 41.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 414 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 414 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we take 385 away from 414, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 293 / 77

Advancing to step 5:
293 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 62.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 353.0
If we subtract 231 from 293, we get 62.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 627 / 77

On to step 6:
When dividing 627 by 77, we get 8 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3538.0
Deduct 616 from 627 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
110 divided by 77 is 1 with a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3538.1
Subtract 77 from 110 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 77 fits into 330 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3538.14
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 308 from 330.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
220 divided by 77 is 2 with a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3538.142
If we take 154 away from 220, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
660 divided by 77 is 8 with a remainder of 44.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3538.1428
If we take 616 away from 660, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 77 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 55.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3538.14285
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 385 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 550 by 77, we get 7 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3538.142857
Subtract 539 from 550 to get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 77 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3538.1428571
Subtract 77 from 110 to get 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
77 goes into 330 4 times with a remainder of 22.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3538.14285714
If we subtract 308 from 330, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3538.14285714 with a balance of 2.2e-08.
