Let's divide 255901 by 99
We want to figure out the number of times 255901 can be divided by 99.

Advancing to step 1:
99 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 25 / 99

On to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 99, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 0 from 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 99

Step 3:
99 goes into 255 2 times with a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 198 from 255, we get 57.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 579 / 99

Let's proceed to step 4:
579 divided by 99 is 5 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we take 495 away from 579, we end up with 84.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 840 / 99

Moving on to step 5:
99 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 258.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 792 from 840.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 481 / 99

Moving on to step 6:
The number 99 fits into 481 4 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2584.0
Subtract 396 from 481 to get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
99 can be fit into 850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2584.8
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 792 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
99 can be fit into 580 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2584.85
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 495 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Step 9:
99 goes into 850 8 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2584.858
If we take 792 away from 850, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 99 fits into 580 5 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2584.8585
Subtract 495 from 580 to get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
99 goes into 850 8 times with a remainder of 58.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2584.85858
If we subtract 792 from 850, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 580 by 99, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2584.858585
Subtract 495 from 580 to get 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
99 can be fit into 850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2584.8585858
Subtracting 792 from 850 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
580 divided by 99 is 5 with a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2584.85858585
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 495 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

The final result is 2584.85858585 with a remainder of 8.5e-08.
