257820 ÷ 98 
Our goal is to divide 257820 by 98.

On to step 1:
98 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 25.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 257 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 257 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 61.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 257 and we're left with 61.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 618 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 618 6 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 588 from 618, we get 30.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 302 / 98

Step 5:
If we divide 302 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 263.0
If we take 294 away from 302, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 80 / 98

On to step 6:
98 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2630.0
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 800 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2630.8
Deduct 784 from 800 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 160 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2630.81
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 98 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 620 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2630.816
Subtracting 588 from 620 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 98 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2630.8163
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 260 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2630.81632
Deduct 196 from 260 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 12:
640 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2630.816326
Subtract 588 from 640 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 goes into 520 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2630.8163265
If we subtract 490 from 520, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 14:
300 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2630.81632653
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2630.81632653, with a leftover of 6e-09.
