We divide 24765979 by 159
We want to figure out the number of times 24765979 can be divided by 159.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 159

Let's proceed to step 2:
159 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 247 / 159

Step 3:
159 can be fit into 247 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 159 from 247 and we're left with 88.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 88, then repeat: 886 / 159

Step 4:
If we divide 886 by 159, we get 5 and a remainder of 91.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 795 away from 886, we end up with 91.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 91 and repeat the process: 915 / 159

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 915 by 159, we get 5 with a remainder of 120.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155.0
Subtract 795 from 915 to get 120.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 120, then carry on: 1209 / 159

Advancing to step 6:
159 goes into 1209 7 times with a remainder of 96.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1557.0
Subtract 1113 from 1209 to get 96.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 967 / 159

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 159 fits into 967 6 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 15576.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 954 from 967.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 139 / 159

On to step 8:
The number 159 fits into 139 0 times, leaving a remainder of 139.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155760.0
Subtracting 0 from 139 leaves us with 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

Step 9:
159 can be fit into 1390 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 118.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 155760.8
The remainder is 118 after subtracting 1272 from 1390.
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 10:
1180 divided by 159 is 7 with a remainder of 67.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155760.87
Deduct 1113 from 1180 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
670 divided by 159 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 155760.874
Subtract 636 from 670 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 159 fits into 340 2 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155760.8742
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 318 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 13:
220 divided by 159 is 1 with a remainder of 61.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155760.87421
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 159 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
159 goes into 610 3 times with a remainder of 133.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 155760.874213
If we subtract 477 from 610, we get 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Step 15:
When dividing 1330 by 159, we get 8 with a remainder of 58.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 155760.8742138
Subtracting 1272 from 1330 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 580 by 159, we get 3 with a remainder of 103.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 155760.87421383
Subtract 477 from 580 to get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 155760.87421383 and a remainder of 1.03e-07.
