We look at the division of 249787 by 98 
We want to divide 249787 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 249 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
98 goes into 249 2 times with a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 249 and we're left with 53.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 537 / 98

On to step 4:
98 goes into 537 5 times with a remainder of 47.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 490 from 537 and we're left with 47.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 47, then carry on: 478 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
478 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 254.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 392 from 478.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 867 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
98 goes into 867 8 times with a remainder of 83.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2548.0
If we subtract 784 from 867, we get 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
830 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 46.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2548.8
Subtracting 784 from 830 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
98 can be fit into 460 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2548.84
If we take 392 away from 460, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 goes into 680 6 times with a remainder of 92.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2548.846
Deduct 588 from 680 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 920 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2548.8469
Deduct 882 from 920 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
380 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2548.84693
If we subtract 294 from 380, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2548.846938
Subtract 784 from 860 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 760 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2548.8469387
If we subtract 686 from 760, 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.

Step 14:
The number 98 fits into 740 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2548.84693877
Subtract 686 from 740 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2548.84693877 with a balance of 5.4e-08.
