We look at the division of 20878667 by 156 
We want to divide 20878667 by 156.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 156 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 20 / 156

Advancing to step 2:
156 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 208 / 156

Advancing to step 3:
The number 156 fits into 208 1 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 156 from 208.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 527 / 156

Advancing to step 4:
The number 156 fits into 527 3 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we take 468 away from 527, we end up with 59.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 598 / 156

On to step 5:
If we divide 598 by 156, we get 3 and a remainder of 130.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 133.0
Subtracting 468 from 598 leaves us with 130.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 130 and continue: 1306 / 156

On to step 6:
If we divide 1306 by 156, we get 8 and a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1338.0
Subtract 1248 from 1306 to get 58.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 586 / 156

Step 7:
156 can be fit into 586 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 118.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13383.0
If we subtract 468 from 586, we get 118.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 118, then carry on: 1187 / 156

On to step 8:
When dividing 1187 by 156, we get 7 with a remainder of 95.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 133837.0
The remainder is 95 after subtracting 1092 from 1187.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 950 by 156, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 133837.6
Subtract 936 from 950 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 140 by 156, we get 0 and a remainder of 140.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 133837.6
Deduct 0 from 140 and we're left with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
156 goes into 1400 8 times with a remainder of 152.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 133837.608
Subtracting 1248 from 1400 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.

On to step 12:
1520 divided by 156 is 9 with a remainder of 116.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 133837.6089
Deduct 1404 from 1520 and we're left with 116.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
156 can be fit into 1160 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 133837.60897
If we subtract 1092 from 1160, 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.

On to step 14:
680 divided by 156 is 4 with a remainder of 56.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 133837.608974
If we subtract 624 from 680, we 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 15:
If we divide 560 by 156, we get 3 and a remainder of 92.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 133837.6089743
Deduct 468 from 560 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
156 can be fit into 920 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 133837.60897435
If we take 780 away from 920, we end up with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 133837.60897435, and the remainder is 1.4e-07.
