We divide 261521 by 98
Our goal is to divide 261521 by 98.

Step 1:
The number 98 fits into 2 0 times, leaving 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 / 98

On to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 26 0 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 26, we end up with 26.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 261 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
98 can be fit into 261 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 65.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 261 and we're left with 65.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 65, then repeat: 655 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
98 can be fit into 655 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Deduct 588 from 655 and we're left with 67.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 67, then carry on: 672 / 98

Step 5:
672 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 266.0
If we subtract 588 from 672, we get 84.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 841 / 98

Step 6:
If we divide 841 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 57.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2668.0
If we subtract 784 from 841, we get 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
98 can be fit into 570 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2668.5
If we subtract 490 from 570, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
800 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2668.58
If we take 784 away from 800, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2668.581
Subtract 98 from 160 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
98 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2668.5816
Deduct 588 from 620 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2668.58163
Subtracting 294 from 320 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 260 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2668.581632
Subtracting 196 from 260 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.

On to step 13:
640 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2668.5816326
If we subtract 588 from 640, we 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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 520 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2668.58163265
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2668.58163265 with a balance of 3e-08.
