We divide 97142178 by 259
We're looking to find how many times 259 goes into 97142178.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 259, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 259

On to step 2:
259 can be fit into 97 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 97.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 0 from 97.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 97, then carry on: 971 / 259

Step 3:
If we divide 971 by 259, we get 3 and a remainder of 194.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 777 from 971, we get 194.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 194, then carry on: 1944 / 259

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 1944 by 259, we get 7 with a remainder of 131.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 131 after subtracting 1813 from 1944.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 131, then repeat: 1312 / 259

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 1312 by 259, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 375.0
If we subtract 1295 from 1312, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 171 / 259

On to step 6:
259 can be fit into 171 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 171.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3750.0
Deduct 0 from 171 and we're left with 171.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 171 and continue with: 1717 / 259

Moving on to step 7:
259 can be fit into 1717 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 163.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37506.0
Deduct 1554 from 1717 and we're left with 163.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 163 and continue with: 1638 / 259

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 1638 by 259, we get 6 and a remainder of 84.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 375066.0
Deduct 1554 from 1638 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 840 by 259, we get 3 with a remainder of 63.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 375066.3
Subtract 777 from 840 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 259 fits into 630 2 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 375066.32
Deduct 518 from 630 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 11:
259 can be fit into 1120 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 375066.324
Subtracting 1036 from 1120 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 12:
259 goes into 840 3 times with a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 375066.3243
If we take 777 away from 840, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 630 by 259, we get 2 and a remainder of 112.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 375066.32432
If we take 518 away from 630, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
The number 259 fits into 1120 4 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 375066.324324
If we take 1036 away from 1120, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 15:
259 can be fit into 840 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 63.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 375066.3243243
Subtracting 777 from 840 leaves us with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
If we divide 630 by 259, we get 2 and a remainder of 112.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 375066.32432432
Subtracting 518 from 630 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 375066.32432432 with a balance of 1.12e-07.
