We're dividing 265899 by 99 
We're looking to find how many times 99 goes into 265899.

On to step 1:
99 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 99

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 26 by 99, we get 0 with a remainder of 26.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 0 from 26.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 265 / 99

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 265 by 99, we get 2 and a remainder of 67.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 198 from 265, we get 67.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 67 and continue: 678 / 99

Advancing to step 4:
The number 99 fits into 678 6 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 594 from 678 and we're left with 84.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 849 / 99

On to step 5:
99 goes into 849 8 times with a remainder of 57.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 268.0
If we take 792 away from 849, we end up with 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 99

Step 6:
99 goes into 579 5 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2685.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 495 from 579.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 99 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2685.8
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 792 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
480 divided by 99 is 4 with a remainder of 84.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2685.84
Subtract 396 from 480 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
99 can be fit into 840 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2685.848
If we take 792 away from 840, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
99 goes into 480 4 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2685.8484
If we subtract 396 from 480, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
840 divided by 99 is 8 with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2685.84848
Deduct 792 from 840 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 84.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2685.848484
Subtracting 396 from 480 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 840 by 99, we get 8 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2685.8484848
Subtract 792 from 840 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 99, we get 4 with a remainder of 84.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2685.84848484
Subtracting 396 from 480 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2685.84848484 with a balance of 8.4e-08.
