86897537 ÷ 157 
Our goal is to divide 86897537 by 157.

On to step 1:
157 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 157

Going ahead to step 2:
157 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 86, we get 86.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 868 / 157

Let's proceed to step 3:
868 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 83.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 785 from 868.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 839 / 157

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 839 by 157, we get 5 with a remainder of 54.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55.0
Subtracting 785 from 839 leaves us with 54.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 547 / 157

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 547 by 157, we get 3 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtracting 471 from 547 leaves us with 76.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 765 / 157

Advancing to step 6:
The number 157 fits into 765 4 times, leaving a remainder of 137.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5534.0
Deduct 628 from 765 and we're left with 137.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 137, then repeat: 1373 / 157

On to step 7:
157 can be fit into 1373 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 117.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55348.0
The remainder is 117 after subtracting 1256 from 1373.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 117 and continue with: 1177 / 157

Going ahead to step 8:
1177 divided by 157 is 7 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 553487.0
Deduct 1099 from 1177 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
157 can be fit into 780 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553487.4
Subtracting 628 from 780 leaves us with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 1520 by 157, we get 9 and a remainder of 107.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553487.49
Deduct 1413 from 1520 and we're left with 107.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1070, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
157 goes into 1070 6 times with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 553487.496
If we subtract 942 from 1070, we 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.

On to step 12:
The number 157 fits into 1280 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 553487.4968
If we take 1256 away from 1280, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 157 fits into 240 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 553487.49681
Subtracting 157 from 240 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 14:
830 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553487.496815
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 785 from 830.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
157 goes into 450 2 times with a remainder of 136.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553487.4968152
If we take 314 away from 450, we end up with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 157 fits into 1360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 104.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 553487.49681528
If we take 1256 away from 1360, we end up with 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

Our division results in 553487.49681528 with a remaining 1.04e-07.
