We look at the division of 12098701 by 260 
We're looking to find how many times 260 goes into 12098701.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 260, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 12 / 260

On to step 2:
260 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 120 / 260

On to step 3:
120 divided by 260 is 0 with a remainder of 120.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 120, we end up with 120.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 120 and continue: 1209 / 260

Moving on to step 4:
260 goes into 1209 4 times with a remainder of 169.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 1040 from 1209 leaves us with 169.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 169, then repeat: 1698 / 260

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 1698 by 260, we get 6 and a remainder of 138.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 1560 from 1698, we get 138.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 138, then carry on: 1387 / 260

Going ahead to step 6:
260 goes into 1387 5 times with a remainder of 87.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 465.0
Subtract 1300 from 1387 to get 87.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 870 / 260

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 870 by 260, we get 3 and a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4653.0
If we take 780 away from 870, we end up with 90.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 90 and continue: 901 / 260

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 901 by 260, we get 3 with a remainder of 121.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46533.0
Subtract 780 from 901 to get 121.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 260 fits into 1210 4 times, leaving a remainder of 170.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46533.4
Deduct 1040 from 1210 and we're left with 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 1700 by 260, we get 6 with a remainder of 140.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46533.46
Subtracting 1560 from 1700 leaves us with 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
260 goes into 1400 5 times with a remainder of 100.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46533.465
Subtracting 1300 from 1400 leaves us with 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1000, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
1000 divided by 260 is 3 with a remainder of 220.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46533.4653
Subtracting 780 from 1000 leaves us with 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
260 goes into 2200 8 times with a remainder of 120.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46533.46538
Subtracting 2080 from 2200 leaves us with 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 260 fits into 1200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 160.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46533.465384
If we subtract 1040 from 1200, we get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
When dividing 1600 by 260, we get 6 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46533.4653846
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 1560 from 1600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
260 goes into 400 1 times with a remainder of 140.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46533.46538461
Subtract 260 from 400 to get 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1400, and continue the process.

Our division results in 46533.46538461 with a remaining 1.4e-07.
