159855 ÷ 2 
We're looking to find how many times 2 goes into 159855.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 2

On to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 2, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 14 from 15 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 2

Let's proceed to step 3:
19 divided by 2 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Deduct 18 from 19 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 2

Step 4:
The number 2 fits into 18 9 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 799.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 18 from 18.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 2

Moving on to step 5:
The number 2 fits into 5 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7992.0
If we take 4 away from 5, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 2

Going ahead to step 6:
15 divided by 2 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79927.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 14 from 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 2, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79927.5
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
2 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79927.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 2, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79927.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 79927.5 with a balance of 0.0.
