We're dividing 7440421 by 157 
Let's see how many times 157 fits into 7440421.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 157, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 157

Moving on to step 2:
157 can be fit into 74 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 74, we end up with 74.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 74, then repeat: 744 / 157

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 744 by 157, we get 4 and a remainder of 116.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 628 from 744 to get 116.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 116, then repeat: 1160 / 157

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 1160 by 157, we get 7 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47.0
If we subtract 1099 from 1160, we get 61.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 614 / 157

Step 5:
The number 157 fits into 614 3 times, leaving a remainder of 143.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 473.0
The remainder is 143 after subtracting 471 from 614.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 143, then repeat: 1432 / 157

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 1432 by 157, we get 9 and a remainder of 19.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4739.0
Subtract 1413 from 1432 to get 19.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 157

Step 7:
When dividing 191 by 157, we get 1 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47391.0
Subtract 157 from 191 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.

Advancing to step 8:
157 can be fit into 340 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 47391.2
Subtracting 314 from 340 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
260 divided by 157 is 1 with a remainder of 103.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47391.21
If we subtract 157 from 260, we 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
1030 divided by 157 is 6 with a remainder of 88.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 47391.216
If we subtract 942 from 1030, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
880 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 95.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47391.2165
If we subtract 785 from 880, 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 12:
When dividing 950 by 157, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47391.21656
If we subtract 942 from 950, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 157 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47391.21656
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
157 can be fit into 800 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 47391.2165605
Subtract 785 from 800 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
If we divide 150 by 157, we get 0 and a remainder of 150.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47391.2165605
The remainder is 150 after subtracting 0 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 47391.2165605, with a leftover of 1.5e-07.
