38151712 divided by 159 
Our goal is to divide 38151712 by 159.

Step 1:
If we divide 3 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 159

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 38 by 159, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 381 / 159

Step 3:
The number 159 fits into 381 2 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 318 from 381.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 63 and repeat the process: 635 / 159

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 635 by 159, we get 3 and a remainder of 158.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
The remainder is 158 after subtracting 477 from 635.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 158 and continue with: 1581 / 159

On to step 5:
The number 159 fits into 1581 9 times, leaving a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239.0
The remainder is 150 after subtracting 1431 from 1581.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 150, then repeat: 1507 / 159

Going ahead to step 6:
159 can be fit into 1507 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2399.0
Subtracting 1431 from 1507 leaves us with 76.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 76, then repeat: 761 / 159

On to step 7:
The number 159 fits into 761 4 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23994.0
The remainder is 125 after subtracting 636 from 761.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 125, then carry on: 1252 / 159

On to step 8:
159 can be fit into 1252 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 139.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 239947.0
The remainder is 139 after subtracting 1113 from 1252.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
159 goes into 1390 8 times with a remainder of 118.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 239947.8
Deduct 1272 from 1390 and we're left with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 159 fits into 1180 7 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 239947.87
If we subtract 1113 from 1180, we get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 670 by 159, we get 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 239947.874
Subtract 636 from 670 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.

Moving on to step 12:
340 divided by 159 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239947.8742
Subtract 318 from 340 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 159 fits into 220 1 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239947.87421
Subtract 159 from 220 to get 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 159 fits into 610 3 times, leaving a remainder of 133.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 239947.874213
Deduct 477 from 610 and we're left with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Step 15:
159 goes into 1330 8 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 239947.8742138
If we take 1272 away from 1330, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
When dividing 580 by 159, we get 3 with a remainder of 103.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239947.87421383
If we subtract 477 from 580, 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.

The final result is 239947.87421383 with a remainder of 1.03e-07.
