We look at the division of 98887767 by 257 
We want to figure out the number of times 98887767 can be divided by 257.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 257

Step 2:
The number 257 fits into 98 0 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 98 leaves us with 98.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 98 and continue with: 988 / 257

On to step 3:
257 can be fit into 988 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 217.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 771 from 988, we get 217.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 217 and continue: 2178 / 257

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2178 by 257, we get 8 with a remainder of 122.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 2056 from 2178 leaves us with 122.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 122, then repeat: 1227 / 257

Advancing to step 5:
257 can be fit into 1227 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 199.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384.0
Subtracting 1028 from 1227 leaves us with 199.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 199 and continue: 1997 / 257

Moving on to step 6:
1997 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 198.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3847.0
Subtracting 1799 from 1997 leaves us with 198.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 198, then carry on: 1986 / 257

On to step 7:
1986 divided by 257 is 7 with a remainder of 187.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38477.0
Subtracting 1799 from 1986 leaves us with 187.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 187, then carry on: 1877 / 257

Advancing to step 8:
257 can be fit into 1877 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 78.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 384777.0
Deduct 1799 from 1877 and we're left with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 9:
780 divided by 257 is 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384777.3
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 771 from 780.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
90 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 384777.3
Deduct 0 from 90 and we're left 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.

Step 11:
257 goes into 900 3 times with a remainder of 129.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384777.303
Deduct 771 from 900 and we're left with 129.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1290, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 1290 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 384777.3035
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 1285 from 1290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 50 by 257, we get 0 and a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 384777.3035
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.

Step 14:
257 goes into 500 1 times with a remainder of 243.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384777.303501
Subtracting 257 from 500 leaves us with 243.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
The number 257 fits into 2430 9 times, leaving a remainder of 117.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384777.3035019
Subtract 2313 from 2430 to get 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
1170 divided by 257 is 4 with a remainder of 142.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 384777.30350194
If we take 1028 away from 1170, we end up with 142.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 384777.30350194 with a balance of 1.42e-07.
