70997252 ÷ 257 
We're looking to find how many times 257 goes into 70997252.

Let's proceed to step 1:
257 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 257

Advancing to step 2:
70 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 257

Step 3:
The number 257 fits into 709 2 times, leaving a remainder of 195.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 514 from 709 to get 195.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 195 and continue with: 1959 / 257

On to step 4:
257 can be fit into 1959 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 160.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Deduct 1799 from 1959 and we're left with 160.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 160, then repeat: 1607 / 257

Moving on to step 5:
The number 257 fits into 1607 6 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 276.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 1542 from 1607.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 652 / 257

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 257 fits into 652 2 times, leaving a remainder of 138.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2762.0
The remainder is 138 after subtracting 514 from 652.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 138 and continue: 1385 / 257

On to step 7:
If we divide 1385 by 257, we get 5 and a remainder of 100.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 27625.0
The remainder is 100 after subtracting 1285 from 1385.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 100 and repeat the process: 1002 / 257

On to step 8:
The number 257 fits into 1002 3 times, leaving a remainder of 231.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276253.0
If we take 771 away from 1002, we end up with 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2310, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 2310 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 254.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 276253.8
If we subtract 2056 from 2310, we get 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 257 fits into 2540 9 times, leaving a remainder of 227.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 276253.89
The remainder is 227 after subtracting 2313 from 2540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2270, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 2270 by 257, we get 8 and a remainder of 214.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276253.898
The remainder is 214 after subtracting 2056 from 2270.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2140, and continue the process.

Step 12:
257 can be fit into 2140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 276253.8988
If we subtract 2056 from 2140, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 276253.8988 with a balance of 0.00084.
