254723 divided by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 254723.

Step 1:
98 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 254 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
254 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 58.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 196 away from 254, we end up with 58.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 587 / 98

On to step 4:
98 can be fit into 587 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 490 from 587, we get 97.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 97, then carry on: 972 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 972 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 259.0
If we take 882 away from 972, we end up with 90.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 90, then repeat: 903 / 98

Step 6:
98 goes into 903 9 times with a remainder of 21.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2599.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 882 from 903.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2599.2
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 196 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2599.21
If we take 98 away from 140, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 420 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2599.214
Subtract 392 from 420 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
98 goes into 280 2 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2599.2142
If we take 196 away from 280, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
98 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2599.21428
If we subtract 784 from 840, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 560 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2599.214285
Subtracting 490 from 560 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
98 goes into 700 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2599.2142857
Deduct 686 from 700 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 98 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2599.21428571
If we subtract 98 from 140, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2599.21428571 with a remaining 4.2e-08.
