We're dividing 255539 by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 255539.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 25 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 255 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
255 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 59.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 255 and we're left with 59.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 595 / 98

On to step 4:
If we divide 595 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 588 from 595 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 73 0 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 260.0
If we take 0 away from 73, we end up with 73.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 739 / 98

On to step 6:
98 goes into 739 7 times with a remainder of 53.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2607.0
Subtract 686 from 739 to get 53.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 530, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
98 goes into 530 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2607.5
Subtract 490 from 530 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 400 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2607.54
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2607.54
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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 2607.5408
Subtracting 784 from 800 leaves us 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 11:
If we divide 160 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2607.54081
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 12:
98 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2607.540816
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 588 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 13:
98 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2607.5408163
If we subtract 294 from 320, we 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.

Step 14:
If we divide 260 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2607.54081632
If we subtract 196 from 260, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2607.54081632 and a remainder of 6.4e-08.
