87484778 divided by 159 
Our goal is to divide 87484778 by 159.

On to step 1:
The number 159 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 159

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 159 fits into 87 0 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 87 leaves us with 87.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 874 / 159

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 159 fits into 874 5 times, leaving a remainder of 79.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 795 away from 874, we end up with 79.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 79 and continue with: 798 / 159

Step 4:
The number 159 fits into 798 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtract 795 from 798 to get 3.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 34 / 159

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 34 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 550.0
If we subtract 0 from 34, we get 34.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 347 / 159

Let's proceed to step 6:
347 divided by 159 is 2 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5502.0
Subtracting 318 from 347 leaves us with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 159

Step 7:
The number 159 fits into 297 1 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 55021.0
The remainder is 138 after subtracting 159 from 297.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 138 and continue: 1388 / 159

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1388 by 159, we get 8 and a remainder of 116.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 550218.0
Subtract 1272 from 1388 to get 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
159 goes into 1160 7 times with a remainder of 47.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 550218.7
Subtracting 1113 from 1160 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
159 goes into 470 2 times with a remainder of 152.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 550218.72
Subtracting 318 from 470 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Step 11:
1520 divided by 159 is 9 with a remainder of 89.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 550218.729
Subtract 1431 from 1520 to get 89.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 159 fits into 890 5 times, leaving a remainder of 95.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 550218.7295
The remainder is 95 after subtracting 795 from 890.
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 13:
When dividing 950 by 159, we get 5 with a remainder of 155.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 550218.72955
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 795 from 950.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1550, and continue the process.

Our division results in 550218.72955 with a remaining 0.000155.
