We're dividing 262048 by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 262048.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 26 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
98 can be fit into 26 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 26 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 262 / 98

On to step 3:
98 goes into 262 2 times with a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 196 from 262 to get 66.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 66 and repeat the process: 660 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
98 goes into 660 6 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 588 from 660 to get 72.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 724 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
98 can be fit into 724 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 686 from 724.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 38, then repeat: 388 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 388 3 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2673.0
Deduct 294 from 388 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 98 fits into 940 9 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2673.9
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 882 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 580 5 times, leaving a remainder of 90.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2673.95
Deduct 490 from 580 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 900 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2673.959
If we take 882 away from 900, we end up with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
98 can be fit into 180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2673.9591
If we take 98 away from 180, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 820 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2673.95918
Deduct 784 from 820 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 360 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2673.959183
If we subtract 294 from 360, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
660 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2673.9591836
Subtracting 588 from 660 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 720 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2673.95918367
If we take 686 away from 720, 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2673.95918367 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
