We're dividing 255738 by 97 
Our goal is to divide 255738 by 97.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 97, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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

On to step 2:
97 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 25 and continue: 255 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 255 by 97, we get 2 and a remainder of 61.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 194 from 255 leaves us with 61.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 97

On to step 4:
If we divide 617 by 97, we get 6 and a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we take 582 away from 617, we end up with 35.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 35 and continue: 353 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
97 can be fit into 353 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 263.0
Deduct 291 from 353 and we're left with 62.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 628 / 97

Advancing to step 6:
97 goes into 628 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2636.0
Deduct 582 from 628 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 460 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2636.4
Subtract 388 from 460 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 97 fits into 720 7 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2636.47
Subtract 679 from 720 to get 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 410 by 97, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2636.474
If we take 388 away from 410, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
97 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2636.4742
Subtract 194 from 220 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 260 2 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2636.47422
Deduct 194 from 260 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2636.47422, and the remainder is 6.6e-05.
