342461 divided by 77 
We want to divide 342461 by 77.

On to step 1:
The number 77 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 77

Let's proceed to step 2:
34 divided by 77 is 0 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 34 leaves us with 34.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 34, then repeat: 342 / 77

Let's proceed to step 3:
342 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 308 from 342 to get 34.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 34 and repeat the process: 344 / 77

Step 4:
When dividing 344 by 77, we get 4 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 308 from 344 to get 36.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 36 and repeat the process: 366 / 77

Advancing to step 5:
The number 77 fits into 366 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 444.0
Subtracting 308 from 366 leaves us with 58.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 581 / 77

On to step 6:
77 goes into 581 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4447.0
If we take 539 away from 581, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 420 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4447.5
Deduct 385 from 420 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 77 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4447.54
Subtract 308 from 350 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
420 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4447.545
If we subtract 385 from 420, we get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
77 can be fit into 350 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4447.5454
Subtract 308 from 350 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 77, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4447.54545
Deduct 385 from 420 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 77 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4447.545454
If we subtract 308 from 350, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
420 divided by 77 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4447.5454545
Subtracting 385 from 420 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
350 divided by 77 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4447.54545454
Subtract 308 from 350 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.
