We're dividing 48862679 by 156 
We want to divide 48862679 by 156.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 156, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 156

Step 2:
If we divide 48 by 156, we get 0 and a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 48 leaves us with 48.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 488 / 156

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 488 by 156, we get 3 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 468 from 488 leaves us with 20.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 206 / 156

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 206 by 156, we get 1 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 156 from 206 to get 50.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 502 / 156

Let's proceed to step 5:
502 divided by 156 is 3 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 313.0
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 468 from 502.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 346 / 156

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 346 by 156, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3132.0
If we take 312 away from 346, we end up with 34.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 34, then carry on: 347 / 156

On to step 7:
347 divided by 156 is 2 with a remainder of 35.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31322.0
If we take 312 away from 347, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 359 / 156

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 156 fits into 359 2 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313222.0
Subtracting 312 from 359 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 470 by 156, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 313222.3
Subtracting 468 from 470 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 20 by 156, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 313222.3
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 156 fits into 200 1 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 313222.301
If we subtract 156 from 200, we get 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
156 goes into 440 2 times with a remainder of 128.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 313222.3012
Subtract 312 from 440 to get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 1280 by 156, we get 8 with a remainder of 32.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 313222.30128
If we take 1248 away from 1280, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 156 fits into 320 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 313222.301282
If we take 312 away from 320, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
If we divide 80 by 156, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 313222.301282
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 156 fits into 800 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 313222.30128205
If we take 780 away from 800, we end up 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.

Our division results in 313222.30128205 with a remaining 2e-08.
