78983189 ÷ 157 
We want to divide 78983189 by 157.

Step 1:
157 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 157

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 78 by 157, we get 0 and a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 78 and repeat the process: 789 / 157

On to step 3:
The number 157 fits into 789 5 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 785 from 789.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 157

Going ahead to step 4:
157 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50.0
If we take 0 away from 48, we end up with 48.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 483 / 157

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 483 by 157, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 503.0
Subtract 471 from 483 to get 12.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 121 / 157

Advancing to step 6:
121 divided by 157 is 0 with a remainder of 121.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5030.0
If we take 0 away from 121, we end up with 121.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 121 and continue: 1218 / 157

Step 7:
If we divide 1218 by 157, we get 7 and a remainder of 119.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 50307.0
If we subtract 1099 from 1218, we get 119.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 119 and continue: 1199 / 157

Step 8:
157 goes into 1199 7 times with a remainder of 100.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503077.0
Subtracting 1099 from 1199 leaves us with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 1000 by 157, we get 6 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 503077.6
If we subtract 942 from 1000, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 580 by 157, we get 3 with a remainder of 109.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 503077.63
Deduct 471 from 580 and we're left with 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 157 fits into 1090 6 times, leaving a remainder of 148.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503077.636
Subtracting 942 from 1090 leaves us with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 1480 by 157, we get 9 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503077.6369
Deduct 1413 from 1480 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Step 13:
157 goes into 670 4 times with a remainder of 42.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 503077.63694
Deduct 628 from 670 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 420 by 157, we get 2 with a remainder of 106.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 503077.636942
If we take 314 away from 420, we end up with 106.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1060, and continue the process.

Step 15:
1060 divided by 157 is 6 with a remainder of 118.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 503077.6369426
If we take 942 away from 1060, we end up with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 157 fits into 1180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 503077.63694267
The remainder is 81 after subtracting 1099 from 1180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Our division results in 503077.63694267 with a remaining 8.1e-08.
