2887984 ÷ 159 
Let's see how many times 159 fits into 2887984.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 159

Advancing to step 2:
The number 159 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 159

Step 3:
159 can be fit into 288 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 129.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 159 away from 288, we end up with 129.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 129 and continue with: 1297 / 159

Step 4:
159 goes into 1297 8 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtracting 1272 from 1297 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 159

Step 5:
The number 159 fits into 259 1 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 181.0
Deduct 159 from 259 and we're left with 100.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 100 and continue with: 1008 / 159

Let's proceed to step 6:
1008 divided by 159 is 6 with a remainder of 54.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1816.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 954 from 1008.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 54, then repeat: 544 / 159

Let's proceed to step 7:
544 divided by 159 is 3 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18163.0
Subtract 477 from 544 to get 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
159 can be fit into 670 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18163.4
If we take 636 away from 670, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
159 can be fit into 340 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18163.42
If we take 318 away from 340, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
159 can be fit into 220 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 18163.421
If we take 159 away from 220, we end up with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Step 11:
159 can be fit into 610 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 133.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 18163.4213
Subtracting 477 from 610 leaves us with 133.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1330, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 1330 by 159, we get 8 and a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18163.42138
If we take 1272 away from 1330, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 580 by 159, we get 3 and a remainder of 103.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18163.421383
Deduct 477 from 580 and we're left with 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Step 14:
159 goes into 1030 6 times with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 18163.4213836
If we take 954 away from 1030, we end up with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
When dividing 760 by 159, we get 4 with a remainder of 124.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18163.42138364
Subtracting 636 from 760 leaves us with 124.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 18163.42138364, and the remainder is 1.24e-07.
