We're dividing 40555647 by 156 
Let's see how many times 156 fits into 40555647.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 156, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 156

Advancing to step 2:
The number 156 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 405 / 156

Step 3:
The number 156 fits into 405 2 times, leaving a remainder of 93.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 312 from 405 leaves us with 93.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 93 and repeat the process: 935 / 156

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 156 fits into 935 5 times, leaving a remainder of 155.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 780 away from 935, we end up with 155.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 155, then repeat: 1555 / 156

Moving on to step 5:
156 can be fit into 1555 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 151.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259.0
If we take 1404 away from 1555, we end up with 151.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 151, then repeat: 1516 / 156

On to step 6:
When dividing 1516 by 156, we get 9 with a remainder of 112.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2599.0
If we take 1404 away from 1516, we end up with 112.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 112, then repeat: 1124 / 156

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 1124 by 156, we get 7 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25997.0
Subtract 1092 from 1124 to get 32.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 327 / 156

On to step 8:
156 goes into 327 2 times with a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259972.0
If we take 312 away from 327, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
156 goes into 150 0 times with a remainder of 150.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 259972.0
Deduct 0 from 150 and we're left with 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 156 fits into 1500 9 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259972.09
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 1404 from 1500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 960 by 156, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259972.096
If we subtract 936 from 960, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 156, we get 1 and a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 259972.0961
Subtracting 156 from 240 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 156 fits into 840 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259972.09615
Subtract 780 from 840 to get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 600 by 156, we get 3 and a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 259972.096153
Deduct 468 from 600 and we're left with 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 1320 by 156, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 259972.0961538
Subtract 1248 from 1320 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
720 divided by 156 is 4 with a remainder of 96.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259972.09615384
If we subtract 624 from 720, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

The final result is 259972.09615384 with a remainder of 9.6e-08.
