We look at the division of 156542 by 79 
We want to divide 156542 by 79.

Going ahead to step 1:
79 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 79

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 79 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 15, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 79

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 156 by 79, we get 1 and a remainder of 77.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 79 from 156, we get 77.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 77, then repeat: 775 / 79

Step 4:
79 can be fit into 775 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Subtract 711 from 775 to get 64.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 644 / 79

Going ahead to step 5:
79 goes into 644 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 198.0
If we take 632 away from 644, we end up with 12.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 122 / 79

Moving on to step 6:
The number 79 fits into 122 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1981.0
Deduct 79 from 122 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 79 fits into 430 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1981.5
Deduct 395 from 430 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 79 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1981.54
Subtracting 316 from 350 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 340 by 79, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1981.544
Subtracting 316 from 340 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final result is 1981.544 with a remainder of 0.0024.
