256718 divided by 98 
Our goal is to divide 256718 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 98, we get 0 and 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.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 256 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 256 2 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 256 and we're left with 60.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 607 / 98

On to step 4:
607 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 19.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 588 from 607.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 19, then carry on: 191 / 98

Step 5:
191 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 93.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 261.0
Subtract 98 from 191 to get 93.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 93 and continue: 938 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 938 9 times with a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2619.0
Subtract 882 from 938 to 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
98 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2619.5
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.

Step 8:
When dividing 700 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2619.57
Subtract 686 from 700 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2619.571
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.

Moving on to step 10:
420 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2619.5714
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
280 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2619.57142
Deduct 196 from 280 and we're left 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.

Step 12:
98 can be fit into 840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2619.571428
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.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2619.5714285
If we subtract 490 from 560, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2619.57142857
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 686 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2619.57142857 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
