Let's divide 16983609 by 156
We want to figure out the number of times 16983609 can be divided by 156.

On to step 1:
156 goes into 1 0 times 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 (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 156

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 156, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 16 and continue with: 169 / 156

Moving on to step 3:
The number 156 fits into 169 1 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 156 from 169 and we're left with 13.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 138 / 156

Going ahead to step 4:
156 goes into 138 0 times with a remainder of 138.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 138 leaves us with 138.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 138 and continue with: 1383 / 156

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 1383 by 156, we get 8 with a remainder of 135.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we subtract 1248 from 1383, we get 135.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 135, then repeat: 1356 / 156

Advancing to step 6:
1356 divided by 156 is 8 with a remainder of 108.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1088.0
Subtracting 1248 from 1356 leaves us with 108.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 108, then repeat: 1080 / 156

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 156 fits into 1080 6 times, leaving a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10886.0
The remainder is 144 after subtracting 936 from 1080.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 144, then carry on: 1449 / 156

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1449 by 156, we get 9 and a remainder of 45.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 108869.0
If we take 1404 away from 1449, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
450 divided by 156 is 2 with a remainder of 138.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 108869.2
Deduct 312 from 450 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.

Moving on to step 10:
156 can be fit into 1380 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 108869.28
If we subtract 1248 from 1380, we get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
156 can be fit into 1320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 108869.288
If we take 1248 away from 1320, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 108869.288 with a remaining 0.0072.
