Let's divide 261699 by 97
We want to divide 261699 by 97.

Step 1:
2 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 97

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 26 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 261 / 97

Step 3:
When dividing 261 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 194 from 261 to get 67.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 676 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
97 can be fit into 676 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 582 from 676 and we're left with 94.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 94, then repeat: 949 / 97

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 949 by 97, we get 9 and a remainder of 76.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 269.0
Subtract 873 from 949 to get 76.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 769 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
769 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 90.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2697.0
Subtracting 679 from 769 leaves us 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 7:
900 divided by 97 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2697.9
Deduct 873 from 900 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 270 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 76.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2697.92
Subtracting 194 from 270 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 760 by 97, we get 7 and a remainder of 81.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2697.927
If we take 679 away from 760, we end up with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 810 8 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2697.9278
If we take 776 away from 810, we end up 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.

On to step 11:
97 can be fit into 340 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2697.92783
If we take 291 away from 340, we end up with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
97 can be fit into 490 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2697.927835
Deduct 485 from 490 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2697.927835
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.

Moving on to step 14:
97 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2697.92783505
Subtracting 485 from 500 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2697.92783505, and the remainder is 1.5e-08.
