The <Pearson residual> is
$$
r_i^{P}=\frac{Y_i-\widehat\mu_i}
{\sqrt{\widehat\phi V(\widehat\mu_i)}}
=\frac{Y_i-\widehat\mu_i}{\sqrt{\widehat\phi\widehat\mu_i^3}},
$$
where the moment estimate of dispersion is
$$
\widehat\phi
=\frac1{n-p}\sum_{i=1}^n
\frac{(Y_i-\widehat\mu_i)^2}{\widehat\mu_i^3}.
$$
If the fitted model is adequate and the deviance residual sum is close to the Pearson statistic, then
$$
\widehat\phi\approx\frac{245.00}{238}=1.029.
$$
