We divide 159983 by 96
We want to divide 159983 by 96.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 96, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 96

Advancing to step 2:
15 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 96

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 159 by 96, we get 1 and a remainder of 63.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 96 from 159 leaves us with 63.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 639 / 96

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 639 by 96, we get 6 with a remainder of 63.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 576 away from 639, we end up with 63.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 63 and continue with: 638 / 96

On to step 5:
The number 96 fits into 638 6 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 166.0
Subtract 576 from 638 to get 62.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 623 / 96

On to step 6:
623 divided by 96 is 6 with a remainder of 47.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1666.0
If we take 576 away from 623, we end up with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 470 by 96, we get 4 with a remainder of 86.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1666.4
If we subtract 384 from 470, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 860 by 96, we get 8 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1666.48
If we take 768 away from 860, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 96 fits into 920 9 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1666.489
If we subtract 864 from 920, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
96 goes into 560 5 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1666.4895
If we subtract 480 from 560, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
96 goes into 800 8 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1666.48958
Subtracting 768 from 800 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
96 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1666.489583
If we take 288 away from 320, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 96 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1666.4895833
Deduct 288 from 320 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1666.4895833 with a balance of 3.2e-07.
