Let's divide 156508 by 76
We want to divide 156508 by 76.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 76, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 76

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 76 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 76

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 76 fits into 156 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 152 from 156.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 45 / 76

On to step 4:
45 divided by 76 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 20.0
Deduct 0 from 45 and we're left with 45.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 450 / 76

Step 5:
76 goes into 450 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 205.0
Deduct 380 from 450 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 708 / 76

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 708 by 76, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2059.0
If we subtract 684 from 708, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 240 by 76, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2059.3
If we subtract 228 from 240, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
76 goes into 120 1 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2059.31
Subtract 76 from 120 to 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 76 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2059.315
Subtracting 380 from 440 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 600 by 76, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2059.3157
If we subtract 532 from 600, we 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 680 by 76, we get 8 and a remainder of 72.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2059.31578
Subtracting 608 from 680 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
76 can be fit into 720 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2059.315789
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 684 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
76 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2059.3157894
Subtract 304 from 360 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 560 by 76, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2059.31578947
Subtracting 532 from 560 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 2059.31578947 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
