We look at the division of 260829 by 97 
We want to divide 260829 by 97.

Advancing to step 1:
97 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 97

Let's proceed to step 2:
26 divided by 97 is 0 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 97

Step 3:
97 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 194 from 260 to get 66.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 668 / 97

Step 4:
97 goes into 668 6 times with a remainder of 86.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 582 from 668, we get 86.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 86 and repeat the process: 862 / 97

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 97 fits into 862 8 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 268.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 776 from 862.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 869 / 97

Step 6:
97 can be fit into 869 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 93.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2688.0
If we take 776 away from 869, we end up with 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
97 can be fit into 930 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2688.9
If we take 873 away from 930, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 97 fits into 570 5 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2688.95
Subtracting 485 from 570 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
97 can be fit into 850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2688.958
Subtracting 776 from 850 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
740 divided by 97 is 7 with a remainder of 61.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2688.9587
Deduct 679 from 740 and we're left with 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 97 fits into 610 6 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2688.95876
Subtracting 582 from 610 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 280 by 97, we get 2 with a remainder of 86.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2688.958762
Deduct 194 from 280 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Step 13:
860 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2688.9587628
Subtract 776 from 860 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
840 divided by 97 is 8 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2688.95876288
Subtracting 776 from 840 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2688.95876288 with a balance of 6.4e-08.
