We look at the division of 156234 by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 156234.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 97

On to step 2:
The number 97 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 15 leaves us with 15.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 156 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 156 by 97, we get 1 with a remainder of 59.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 97 from 156.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 592 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 592 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 582 from 592 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 103 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
97 can be fit into 103 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 161.0
Subtract 97 from 103 to get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 97

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 64 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1610.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 7:
97 goes into 640 6 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1610.6
If we take 582 away from 640, we end up with 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 8:
The number 97 fits into 580 5 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1610.65
If we subtract 485 from 580, we get 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
97 can be fit into 950 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 77.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1610.659
If we subtract 873 from 950, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 770 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 91.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1610.6597
Deduct 679 from 770 and we're left with 91.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 910, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 910 9 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1610.65979
Subtracting 873 from 910 leaves us with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 370 by 97, we get 3 and a remainder of 79.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1610.659793
Deduct 291 from 370 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 790 by 97, we get 8 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1610.6597938
Subtract 776 from 790 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 97 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1610.65979381
Deduct 97 from 140 and we're left with 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1610.65979381 and a remainder of 4.3e-08.
