We're dividing 158961 by 85 
We're looking to find how many times 85 goes into 158961.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 85

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 85, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 85

Advancing to step 3:
The number 85 fits into 158 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 85 from 158 leaves us with 73.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 739 / 85

Going ahead to step 4:
739 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 59.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 680 from 739 leaves us with 59.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 59, then repeat: 596 / 85

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 596 by 85, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 187.0
Subtract 595 from 596 to get 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 85

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 85, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1870.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 85, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1870.1
If we subtract 85 from 110, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
85 goes into 250 2 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1870.12
If we take 170 away from 250, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 85 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1870.129
Subtract 765 from 800 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
350 divided by 85 is 4 with a remainder of 10.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1870.1294
If we subtract 340 from 350, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
85 can be fit into 100 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1870.12941
Subtracting 85 from 100 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
85 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1870.129411
If we subtract 85 from 150, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1870.129411 with a balance of 6.5e-06.
