We're dividing 20824978 by 157 
We want to figure out the number of times 20824978 can be divided by 157.

On to step 1:
The number 157 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 157

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 157, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 157

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 208 by 157, we get 1 with a remainder of 51.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 157 from 208 and we're left with 51.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 512 / 157

Step 4:
512 divided by 157 is 3 with a remainder of 41.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 471 from 512.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 414 / 157

Advancing to step 5:
The number 157 fits into 414 2 times, leaving a remainder of 100.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132.0
If we take 314 away from 414, we end up with 100.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 100, then carry on: 1009 / 157

Let's proceed to step 6:
157 can be fit into 1009 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1326.0
If we take 942 away from 1009, we end up with 67.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 677 / 157

Let's proceed to step 7:
157 goes into 677 4 times with a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13264.0
Deduct 628 from 677 and we're left with 49.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 49 and continue with: 498 / 157

Advancing to step 8:
498 divided by 157 is 3 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 132643.0
If we subtract 471 from 498, we get 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
270 divided by 157 is 1 with a remainder of 113.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 132643.1
Subtracting 157 from 270 leaves us with 113.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 1130 by 157, we get 7 with a remainder of 31.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132643.17
Deduct 1099 from 1130 and we're left with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
310 divided by 157 is 1 with a remainder of 153.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 132643.171
Subtract 157 from 310 to get 153.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1530, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 1530 by 157, we get 9 and a remainder of 117.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 132643.1719
If we subtract 1413 from 1530, we get 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 1170 by 157, we get 7 with a remainder of 71.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 132643.17197
Subtract 1099 from 1170 to get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 157 fits into 710 4 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 132643.171974
Subtracting 628 from 710 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
820 divided by 157 is 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132643.1719745
Subtracting 785 from 820 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
If we divide 350 by 157, we get 2 and a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 132643.17197452
If we subtract 314 from 350, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 132643.17197452 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
