Let's divide 156953 by 85
We want to divide 156953 by 85.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 85 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 85

Step 2:
If we divide 15 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 15, we get 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 85

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 156 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 71.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 85 from 156 and we're left with 71.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 719 / 85

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 719 by 85, we get 8 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 680 from 719 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 395 / 85

Going ahead to step 5:
85 goes into 395 4 times with a remainder of 55.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 184.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 340 from 395.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 553 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 85 fits into 553 6 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1846.0
If we take 510 away from 553, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 430 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1846.5
Subtracting 425 from 430 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
50 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 50.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1846.5
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1846.505
Subtracting 425 from 500 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1846.5058
Deduct 680 from 750 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
700 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1846.50588
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 1846.50588, and the remainder is 2e-05.
