We're dividing 28699856 by 159 
We want to figure out the number of times 28699856 can be divided by 159.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 159

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 286 / 159

Moving on to step 3:
The number 159 fits into 286 1 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 159 from 286, we get 127.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 127 and continue: 1279 / 159

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1279 by 159, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 1272 from 1279.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 159

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 79 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 79.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 180.0
If we subtract 0 from 79, we get 79.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 79, then repeat: 798 / 159

On to step 6:
When dividing 798 by 159, we get 5 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1805.0
If we subtract 795 from 798, we get 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 159

On to step 7:
159 can be fit into 35 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 18050.0
If we take 0 away from 35, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 356 / 159

Going ahead to step 8:
159 goes into 356 2 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 180502.0
Subtracting 318 from 356 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 159 fits into 380 2 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 180502.2
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 318 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
159 can be fit into 620 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 143.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180502.23
Deduct 477 from 620 and we're left with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
159 goes into 1430 8 times with a remainder of 158.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 180502.238
Subtracting 1272 from 1430 leaves us with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
159 goes into 1580 9 times with a remainder of 149.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 180502.2389
Subtract 1431 from 1580 to get 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 1490 by 159, we get 9 with a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 180502.23899
Subtracting 1431 from 1490 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 180502.23899 with a remaining 5.9e-05.
