We're dividing 161287 by 76 
We want to divide 161287 by 76.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 76 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 76

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 16 by 76, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 76

Advancing to step 3:
76 goes into 161 2 times with a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 152 from 161, we get 9.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 92 / 76

On to step 4:
92 divided by 76 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 76 from 92, we get 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 76

Step 5:
If we divide 168 by 76, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 212.0
Subtract 152 from 168 to get 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 76

Advancing to step 6:
The number 76 fits into 167 2 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2122.0
If we take 152 away from 167, 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 150 by 76, we get 1 and a remainder of 74.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2122.1
If we subtract 76 from 150, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 740 by 76, we get 9 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2122.19
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 684 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2122.197
Deduct 532 from 560 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
280 divided by 76 is 3 with a remainder of 52.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2122.1973
Subtract 228 from 280 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
76 goes into 520 6 times with a remainder of 64.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2122.19736
If we subtract 456 from 520, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 12:
640 divided by 76 is 8 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2122.197368
If we subtract 608 from 640, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
76 can be fit into 320 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2122.1973684
If we subtract 304 from 320, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
160 divided by 76 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2122.19736842
Subtract 152 from 160 to 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.

Our division results in 2122.19736842 with a remaining 8e-09.
