220/77.0000
220 won't go into 77, so bring down a zero. This makes 770 and so 220 will go into 770, 3 times.

So you have 770-660=110
Carry down another zero.
Now you divide 220 into 1100
220 goes exactly 5 times into 1100.
Notice when started I put 77.000
All your division has taken place to the right of your decimal, so your answer keeping your numbers in place of the decimal is .35 or 0.35 to be more mathematical correct. The zero shows that 220 couldn't go into 77 when we first started. Hope this helps.
