Let's divide 558716 by 77
We want to figure out the number of times 558716 can be divided by 77.

On to step 1:
The number 77 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 77

On to step 2:
77 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 55 and we're left with 55.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 55, then carry on: 558 / 77

Going ahead to step 3:
77 goes into 558 7 times with a remainder of 19.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 539 from 558.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 197 / 77

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 197 by 77, we get 2 and a remainder of 43.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 72.0
Deduct 154 from 197 and we're left with 43.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 431 / 77

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 431 by 77, we get 5 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 725.0
Subtracting 385 from 431 leaves us with 46.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 466 / 77

Step 6:
The number 77 fits into 466 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7256.0
If we subtract 462 from 466, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 77, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7256.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
400 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7256.05
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 150 by 77, we get 1 with a remainder of 73.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7256.051
Subtracting 77 from 150 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
77 goes into 730 9 times with a remainder of 37.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.0519
If we take 693 away from 730, we end up with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
370 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.05194
If we take 308 away from 370, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 12:
620 divided by 77 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7256.051948
If we take 616 away from 620, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
77 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7256.051948
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 14:
400 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7256.05194805
Subtract 385 from 400 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 7256.05194805 and a remainder of 1.5e-08.
