Let's divide 1216996 by 157
We want to divide 1216996 by 157.

Step 1:
1 divided by 157 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 157

Step 2:
When dividing 12 by 157, we get 0 with a remainder of 12.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 12, we get 12.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 121 / 157

Let's proceed to step 3:
121 divided by 157 is 0 with a remainder of 121.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 121 after subtracting 0 from 121.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 121 and continue with: 1216 / 157

Going ahead to step 4:
157 can be fit into 1216 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 117.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 1099 from 1216, we get 117.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 117 and continue: 1179 / 157

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 1179 by 157, we get 7 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 77.0
Subtract 1099 from 1179 to get 80.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 80 and repeat the process: 809 / 157

Step 6:
157 can be fit into 809 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 775.0
Subtract 785 from 809 to get 24.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 157

Going ahead to step 7:
157 can be fit into 246 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 89.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7751.0
Deduct 157 from 246 and we're left with 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 890 by 157, we get 5 with a remainder of 105.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7751.5
Subtract 785 from 890 to get 105.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1050, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 157 fits into 1050 6 times, leaving a remainder of 108.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 7751.56
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 942 from 1050.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

Step 10:
1080 divided by 157 is 6 with a remainder of 138.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7751.566
Deduct 942 from 1080 and we're left with 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 7751.566, and the remainder is 0.0138.
