We're dividing 159697 by 718 
We want to divide 159697 by 718.

Let's proceed to step 1:
718 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 718

Let's proceed to step 2:
15 divided by 718 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 718

Step 3:
718 goes into 159 0 times with a remainder of 159.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 159 leaves us with 159.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 159, then carry on: 1596 / 718

Advancing to step 4:
The number 718 fits into 1596 2 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 1436 from 1596 and we're left with 160.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 160, then repeat: 1609 / 718

Advancing to step 5:
1609 divided by 718 is 2 with a remainder of 173.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 1436 from 1609 and we're left with 173.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 173, then repeat: 1737 / 718

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 718 fits into 1737 2 times, leaving a remainder of 301.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 222.0
Deduct 1436 from 1737 and we're left with 301.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3010, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 3010 by 718, we get 4 and a remainder of 138.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 222.4
Subtracting 2872 from 3010 leaves us with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 718 fits into 1380 1 times, leaving a remainder of 662.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 222.41
If we subtract 718 from 1380, we get 662.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
718 can be fit into 6620 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 158.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 222.419
If we subtract 6462 from 6620, we get 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Step 10:
718 goes into 1580 2 times with a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 222.4192
Subtracting 1436 from 1580 leaves us with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
718 can be fit into 1440 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 222.41922
If we subtract 1436 from 1440, 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.

The quotient of the division is 222.41922, and the remainder is 4e-06.
