259843 ÷ 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 259843.

Step 1:
The number 98 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 25 0 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 25, we get 25.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 259 / 98

Step 3:
If we divide 259 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 63.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 196 from 259 leaves us with 63.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 638 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
98 goes into 638 6 times with a remainder of 50.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 588 away from 638, we end up with 50.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 50 and repeat the process: 504 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
98 can be fit into 504 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 265.0
Deduct 490 from 504 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 143 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 143 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 45.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2651.0
If we subtract 98 from 143, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 450 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 58.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2651.4
Subtract 392 from 450 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
580 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 90.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2651.45
Subtract 490 from 580 to get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
900 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2651.459
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 882 from 900.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 180 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2651.4591
If we subtract 98 from 180, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
98 goes into 820 8 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2651.45918
Subtracting 784 from 820 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
98 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2651.459183
Subtract 294 from 360 to get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 can be fit into 660 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2651.4591836
Subtract 588 from 660 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 720 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2651.45918367
Subtracting 686 from 720 leaves us 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.

The final result is 2651.45918367 with a remainder of 3.4e-08.
