Let's divide 262541 by 77
Our goal is to divide 262541 by 77.

Let's proceed to step 1:
77 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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 (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 77

Step 2:
77 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 77

Moving on to step 3:
The number 77 fits into 262 3 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 231 from 262, we get 31.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 31 and continue: 315 / 77

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 315 by 77, we get 4 and a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 308 from 315.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 77

Let's proceed to step 5:
74 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 340.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 0 from 74.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 741 / 77

Advancing to step 6:
The number 77 fits into 741 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3409.0
Subtract 693 from 741 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
77 goes into 480 6 times with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3409.6
If we subtract 462 from 480, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
77 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3409.62
Subtract 154 from 180 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 77 fits into 260 3 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3409.623
Deduct 231 from 260 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
290 divided by 77 is 3 with a remainder of 59.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3409.6233
Deduct 231 from 290 and we're left with 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3409.6233, with a leftover of 0.00059.
