257488 divided by 98 
Our goal is to divide 257488 by 98.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
98 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 257 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 61.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 257 and we're left with 61.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 614 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
614 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 588 from 614.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 268 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 268 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 72.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 262.0
Deduct 196 from 268 and we're left with 72.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 728 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 can be fit into 728 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2627.0
If we take 686 away from 728, 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2627.4
Subtracting 392 from 420 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
280 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2627.42
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.

On to step 9:
98 can be fit into 840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2627.428
If we take 784 away from 840, we end up with 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 10:
If we divide 560 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2627.4285
Deduct 490 from 560 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2627.42857
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.

On to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2627.428571
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.

Advancing to step 13:
420 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2627.4285714
Deduct 392 from 420 and we're left with 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 14:
98 goes into 280 2 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2627.42857142
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 196 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2627.42857142 and a remainder of 8.4e-08.
