We look at the division of 259244 by 97 
We're looking to find how many times 97 goes into 259244.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 97

Moving on to step 2:
25 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 25, we end up with 25.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 97

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 97 fits into 259 2 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 65 after subtracting 194 from 259.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 65, then repeat: 652 / 97

Moving on to step 4:
97 can be fit into 652 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 582 from 652 to get 70.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 704 / 97

Advancing to step 5:
97 can be fit into 704 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 267.0
Subtract 679 from 704 to get 25.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 254 / 97

Moving on to step 6:
The number 97 fits into 254 2 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2672.0
If we subtract 194 from 254, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
600 divided by 97 is 6 with a remainder of 18.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2672.6
Deduct 582 from 600 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 97 fits into 180 1 times, leaving a remainder of 83.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2672.61
Subtracting 97 from 180 leaves us with 83.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 830, and continue the process.

Step 9:
830 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 54.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2672.618
If we subtract 776 from 830, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 540 by 97, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2672.6185
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 485 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
550 divided by 97 is 5 with a remainder of 65.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2672.61855
If we subtract 485 from 550, we get 65.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 650, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2672.61855 with a remaining 6.5e-05.
