We divide 2557 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 2557.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 98

Step 2:
The number 98 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 98

On to step 3:
98 goes into 255 2 times with a remainder of 59.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 196 from 255, we get 59.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 597 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 597 6 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 588 from 597, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 90 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
98 can be fit into 900 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 26.09
If we take 882 away from 900, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.091
If we take 98 away from 180, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 820 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0918
If we subtract 784 from 820, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 360 3 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.09183
Subtracting 294 from 360 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 660 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.091836
If we take 588 away from 660, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 720 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0918367
Deduct 686 from 720 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
98 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 26.09183673
The remainder is 46 after subtracting 294 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 26.09183673 with a balance of 4.6e-08.
