Let's divide 24490262 by 159
We want to figure out the number of times 24490262 can be divided by 159.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 159

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 244 / 159

On to step 3:
159 can be fit into 244 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 159 from 244, we get 85.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 859 / 159

Let's proceed to step 4:
859 divided by 159 is 5 with a remainder of 64.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 795 away from 859, we end up with 64.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 640 / 159

Going ahead to step 5:
159 goes into 640 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 154.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 636 from 640.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 159

Going ahead to step 6:
159 goes into 42 0 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1540.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 426 / 159

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 426 by 159, we get 2 with a remainder of 108.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15402.0
The remainder is 108 after subtracting 318 from 426.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 108 and continue: 1082 / 159

Going ahead to step 8:
1082 divided by 159 is 6 with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 154026.0
If we subtract 954 from 1082, we get 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 1280 by 159, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 154026.8
If we take 1272 away from 1280, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
159 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154026.8
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
159 goes into 800 5 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 154026.805
If we subtract 795 from 800, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 50 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 154026.805
Deduct 0 from 50 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 13:
159 can be fit into 500 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 154026.80503
If we take 477 away from 500, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
159 can be fit into 230 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 154026.805031
Deduct 159 from 230 and we're left with 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
159 can be fit into 710 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 154026.8050314
If we subtract 636 from 710, we get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 16:
159 goes into 740 4 times with a remainder of 104.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 154026.80503144
Subtract 636 from 740 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 154026.80503144 and a remainder of 1.04e-07.
