We look at the division of 1655042 by 159 
We're looking to find how many times 159 goes into 1655042.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 159, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 159

Let's proceed to step 2:
159 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 165 / 159

Moving on to step 3:
159 goes into 165 1 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 159 from 165 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 159

Step 4:
159 can be fit into 65 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 65, we end up with 65.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 650 / 159

On to step 5:
650 divided by 159 is 4 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 104.0
Subtracting 636 from 650 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 159

On to step 6:
159 can be fit into 144 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1040.0
Subtract 0 from 144 to get 144.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1442 / 159

Step 7:
159 goes into 1442 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 10409.0
Subtracting 1431 from 1442 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 159 fits into 110 0 times, leaving a remainder of 110.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10409.0
Deduct 0 from 110 and we're left with 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1100, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
1100 divided by 159 is 6 with a remainder of 146.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10409.06
If we subtract 954 from 1100, we get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 1460 by 159, we get 9 with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10409.069
If we subtract 1431 from 1460, we get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
159 goes into 290 1 times with a remainder of 131.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10409.0691
Subtract 159 from 290 to get 131.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1310, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 159 fits into 1310 8 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10409.06918
Subtract 1272 from 1310 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 380 by 159, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 10409.069182
Subtract 318 from 380 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 620 by 159, we get 3 with a remainder of 143.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 10409.0691823
If we take 477 away from 620, we end up with 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Step 15:
159 goes into 1430 8 times with a remainder of 158.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10409.06918238
Deduct 1272 from 1430 and we're left with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10409.06918238 with a balance of 1.58e-07.
