Explanation:

There is also another way to do divison if it is confusing for others.

If you multiply 598 and 2 that equals 1196. That is the closest number that can go into 2 598 times. So what i am trying to say is that since the problem is 2 divided by 1197 you have to figure out what number you need to multiply that can go into two. So 2 divided by what equals 1197 OR 2 divided by what number can equal 1197 or any number that is close to 1197. So 598 times 2 equals 1196. With a remainder of 1
