We're dividing 45872959 by 156 
Our goal is to divide 45872959 by 156.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 156 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 156

On to step 2:
The number 156 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 45, we get 45.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 458 / 156

On to step 3:
The number 156 fits into 458 2 times, leaving a remainder of 146.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 312 away from 458, we end up with 146.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 146, then carry on: 1467 / 156

On to step 4:
When dividing 1467 by 156, we get 9 with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtract 1404 from 1467 to get 63.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 632 / 156

Going ahead to step 5:
632 divided by 156 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 294.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 624 from 632.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 156

Step 6:
If we divide 89 by 156, we get 0 and a remainder of 89.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2940.0
Deduct 0 from 89 and we're left with 89.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 89, then carry on: 895 / 156

Let's proceed to step 7:
156 goes into 895 5 times with a remainder of 115.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29405.0
Deduct 780 from 895 and we're left with 115.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 115 and continue: 1159 / 156

On to step 8:
The number 156 fits into 1159 7 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294057.0
Deduct 1092 from 1159 and we're left with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 670 by 156, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 294057.4
Subtracting 624 from 670 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 10:
156 can be fit into 460 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 148.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 294057.42
Subtract 312 from 460 to get 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
156 can be fit into 1480 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 294057.429
The remainder is 76 after subtracting 1404 from 1480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 760 by 156, we get 4 and a remainder of 136.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294057.4294
If we subtract 624 from 760, we get 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
156 can be fit into 1360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 294057.42948
The remainder is 112 after subtracting 1248 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 1120 by 156, we get 7 and a remainder of 28.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294057.429487
Subtracting 1092 from 1120 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.

On to step 15:
156 can be fit into 280 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 124.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294057.4294871
If we subtract 156 from 280, we get 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
1240 divided by 156 is 7 with a remainder of 148.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 294057.42948717
Subtracting 1092 from 1240 leaves us with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Our division results in 294057.42948717 with a remaining 1.48e-07.
