We divide 248299 by 97
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 248299.

Step 1:
97 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 97

Going ahead to step 2:
97 can be fit into 24 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 248 / 97

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 97 fits into 248 2 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 194 away from 248, we end up with 54.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 542 / 97

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 542 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 57.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 485 away from 542, we end up with 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 97

On to step 5:
When dividing 579 by 97, we get 5 with a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 255.0
Subtracting 485 from 579 leaves us with 94.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 949 / 97

Step 6:
97 can be fit into 949 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2559.0
Subtracting 873 from 949 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 97 fits into 760 7 times, leaving a remainder of 81.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2559.7
Subtracting 679 from 760 leaves us with 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 810, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
97 goes into 810 8 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2559.78
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 776 from 810.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
340 divided by 97 is 3 with a remainder of 49.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2559.783
Subtract 291 from 340 to get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
490 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2559.7835
Subtracting 485 from 490 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2559.7835
If we subtract 0 from 50, 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 500 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2559.783505
If we subtract 485 from 500, we get 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 13:
97 can be fit into 150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2559.7835051
Subtract 97 from 150 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 97 fits into 530 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2559.78350515
If we subtract 485 from 530, we get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2559.78350515 with a balance of 4.5e-08.
