31844250 ÷ 159 
We're looking to find how many times 159 goes into 31844250.

Moving on to step 1:
3 divided by 159 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 159

On to step 2:
31 divided by 159 is 0 with a remainder of 31.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 31 leaves us with 31.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 31 and repeat the process: 318 / 159

Step 3:
When dividing 318 by 159, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 318 from 318 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 159

On to step 4:
4 divided by 159 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 159

On to step 5:
159 goes into 44 0 times with a remainder of 44.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 200.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 442 / 159

Step 6:
442 divided by 159 is 2 with a remainder of 124.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2002.0
If we take 318 away from 442, we end up with 124.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 124 and continue: 1245 / 159

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 1245 by 159, we get 7 with a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20027.0
Deduct 1113 from 1245 and we're left with 132.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 132, then carry on: 1320 / 159

Going ahead to step 8:
159 goes into 1320 8 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 200278.0
Deduct 1272 from 1320 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 159 fits into 480 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 200278.3
Subtract 477 from 480 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 10:
159 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 200278.3
If we subtract 0 from 30, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 159 fits into 300 1 times, leaving a remainder of 141.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 200278.301
The remainder is 141 after subtracting 159 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 1410 by 159, we get 8 and a remainder of 138.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 200278.3018
Subtract 1272 from 1410 to get 138.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 159 fits into 1380 8 times, leaving a remainder of 108.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 200278.30188
If we take 1272 away from 1380, we end up with 108.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1080, and continue the process.

The final result is 200278.30188 with a remainder of 0.000108.
