We're dividing 55542726 by 157 
We're looking to find how many times 157 goes into 55542726.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 157, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 157

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 157, we get 0 and a remainder of 55.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 555 / 157

Advancing to step 3:
157 goes into 555 3 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 471 from 555 and we're left with 84.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 844 / 157

Let's proceed to step 4:
844 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35.0
If we subtract 785 from 844, we get 59.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 592 / 157

Step 5:
If we divide 592 by 157, we get 3 and a remainder of 121.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 353.0
Subtract 471 from 592 to get 121.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 121 and continue with: 1217 / 157

Step 6:
157 goes into 1217 7 times with a remainder of 118.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3537.0
Deduct 1099 from 1217 and we're left with 118.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 118, then repeat: 1182 / 157

On to step 7:
The number 157 fits into 1182 7 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 35377.0
Subtracting 1099 from 1182 leaves us with 83.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 83 and continue: 836 / 157

Let's proceed to step 8:
157 can be fit into 836 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 353775.0
Subtract 785 from 836 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
157 can be fit into 510 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 353775.3
If we subtract 471 from 510, we get 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
390 divided by 157 is 2 with a remainder of 76.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 353775.32
Subtracting 314 from 390 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
157 goes into 760 4 times with a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 353775.324
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 628 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
157 can be fit into 1320 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 353775.3248
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1256 from 1320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
157 can be fit into 640 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 353775.32484
Subtracting 628 from 640 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 120 by 157, we get 0 with a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 353775.32484
Subtract 0 from 120 to get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
157 goes into 1200 7 times with a remainder of 101.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 353775.3248407
If we subtract 1099 from 1200, we get 101.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1010, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
157 goes into 1010 6 times with a remainder of 68.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 353775.32484076
Subtract 942 from 1010 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 353775.32484076, and the remainder is 6.8e-08.
