No doubt, the expeced answer is 2. This is because you would ordinarily change the problem to 59200/925 for long division by hand.

For this quotient, you don't need any, because the quotient is 64, a multiple of 4, so the numbers being subtracted are always integers.

_____

If you were dividing 591 by 9.25, you would need an infinite number of zeros—because the decimal portion of the quotient is a repeating decimal with a period of 3 digits.
