We look at the division of 98957619 by 257 
We want to divide 98957619 by 257.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 257, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 257

Step 2:
257 can be fit into 98 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 98 to get 98.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 98 and continue: 989 / 257

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 989 by 257, we get 3 with a remainder of 218.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 771 from 989 leaves us with 218.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 218, then repeat: 2185 / 257

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 2185 by 257, we get 8 with a remainder of 129.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we subtract 2056 from 2185, we get 129.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 129 and continue: 1297 / 257

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 1297 by 257, we get 5 with a remainder of 12.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 1285 from 1297.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 126 / 257

Advancing to step 6:
257 can be fit into 126 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 126.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3850.0
Subtract 0 from 126 to get 126.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 126 and continue: 1261 / 257

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 257 fits into 1261 4 times, leaving a remainder of 233.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 38504.0
If we take 1028 away from 1261, we end up with 233.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 233, then repeat: 2339 / 257

On to step 8:
When dividing 2339 by 257, we get 9 with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 385049.0
If we take 2313 away from 2339, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 9:
257 goes into 260 1 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 385049.1
Deduct 257 from 260 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
30 divided by 257 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 385049.1
If we subtract 0 from 30, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 300 by 257, we get 1 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 385049.101
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 257 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Step 12:
430 divided by 257 is 1 with a remainder of 173.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 385049.1011
Deduct 257 from 430 and we're left with 173.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1730, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 385049.1011 with a balance of 0.00173.
