We're dividing 159982 by 99 
We want to divide 159982 by 99.

Step 1:
1 divided by 99 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 15 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
99 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 99

Moving on to step 3:
The number 99 fits into 159 1 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 99 from 159 leaves us with 60.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 60 and continue: 609 / 99

Step 4:
When dividing 609 by 99, we get 6 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 594 from 609 and we're left with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 99

Step 5:
158 divided by 99 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 161.0
Subtracting 99 from 158 leaves us with 59.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 592 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
99 goes into 592 5 times with a remainder of 97.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1615.0
Deduct 495 from 592 and we're left with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 99 fits into 970 9 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1615.9
Subtract 891 from 970 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
99 can be fit into 790 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1615.97
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 693 from 790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
970 divided by 99 is 9 with a remainder of 79.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1615.979
Subtracting 891 from 970 leaves us with 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
790 divided by 99 is 7 with a remainder of 97.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1615.9797
Subtracting 693 from 790 leaves us with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 970 by 99, we get 9 and a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1615.97979
If we subtract 891 from 970, we get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
99 can be fit into 790 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1615.979797
Subtracting 693 from 790 leaves us with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
99 goes into 970 9 times with a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1615.9797979
Subtract 891 from 970 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 14:
99 can be fit into 790 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1615.97979797
If we take 693 away from 790, we end up with 97.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 970, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1615.97979797, and the remainder is 9.7e-08.
