We divide 257294 by 97
We want to figure out the number of times 257294 can be divided by 97.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 25 by 97, we get 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 25 leaves us with 25.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 257 / 97

Moving on to step 3:
97 can be fit into 257 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 194 from 257.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 632 / 97

On to step 4:
When dividing 632 by 97, we get 6 with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 582 from 632.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 50, then repeat: 509 / 97

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 509 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 265.0
Deduct 485 from 509 and we're left with 24.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 244 / 97

Let's proceed to step 6:
97 can be fit into 244 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2652.0
If we subtract 194 from 244, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
97 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2652.5
If we take 485 away from 500, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
97 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2652.51
Deduct 97 from 150 and we're left with 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
97 can be fit into 530 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2652.515
Deduct 485 from 530 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 97 fits into 450 4 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2652.5154
If we take 388 away from 450, we end up with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 620 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2652.51546
If we take 582 away from 620, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 97 fits into 380 3 times, leaving a remainder of 89.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2652.515463
The remainder is 89 after subtracting 291 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 890, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 97 fits into 890 9 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2652.5154639
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 873 from 890.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 97 fits into 170 1 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2652.51546391
Subtracting 97 from 170 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2652.51546391, and the remainder is 7.3e-08.
