We're dividing 1601973 by 771 
We're looking to find how many times 771 goes into 1601973.

On to step 1:
771 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 771

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 771, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 16 leaves us with 16.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 160 / 771

Going ahead to step 3:
771 goes into 160 0 times with a remainder of 160.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 160, we end up with 160.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 160 and continue: 1601 / 771

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 771 fits into 1601 2 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 1542 from 1601 leaves us with 59.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 599 / 771

Step 5:
If we divide 599 by 771, we get 0 and a remainder of 599.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we subtract 0 from 599, we get 599.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 599, then repeat: 5997 / 771

Step 6:
The number 771 fits into 5997 7 times, leaving a remainder of 600.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 207.0
Subtract 5397 from 5997 to get 600.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 600 and continue with: 6003 / 771

Let's proceed to step 7:
6003 divided by 771 is 7 with a remainder of 606.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2077.0
Subtract 5397 from 6003 to get 606.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6060, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 6060 by 771, we get 7 and a remainder of 663.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2077.7
Deduct 5397 from 6060 and we're left with 663.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6630, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
771 goes into 6630 8 times with a remainder of 462.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2077.78
Deduct 6168 from 6630 and we're left with 462.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 4620 by 771, we get 5 and a remainder of 765.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2077.785
The remainder is 765 after subtracting 3855 from 4620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7650, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 771 fits into 7650 9 times, leaving a remainder of 711.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2077.7859
Deduct 6939 from 7650 and we're left with 711.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 7110 by 771, we get 9 with a remainder of 171.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2077.78599
If we take 6939 away from 7110, we end up with 171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1710, and continue the process.

The final result is 2077.78599 with a remainder of 0.000171.
