We're dividing 2558 by 98 
Our goal is to divide 2558 by 98.

Step 1:
98 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 98

Step 2:
98 goes into 25 0 times with a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 255 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 59.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 255 and we're left with 59.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 598 / 98

On to step 4:
98 can be fit into 598 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 588 from 598, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 100 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 26.1
If we subtract 98 from 100, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
98 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.1
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 7:
98 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.102
Subtracting 196 from 200 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
98 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.102
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.10204
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
98 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 26.10204
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
98 can be fit into 800 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.1020408
Subtract 784 from 800 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
98 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 26.10204081
If we subtract 98 from 160, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 26.10204081 with a balance of 6.2e-08.
