We're dividing 161884 by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 161884.

Going ahead to step 1:
98 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 98

Step 2:
98 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 161 / 98

On to step 3:
161 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 98 away from 161, we end up with 63.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 63 and continue: 638 / 98

On to step 4:
98 can be fit into 638 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 588 from 638 leaves us with 50.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 50 and continue with: 508 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 508 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtracting 490 from 508 leaves us with 18.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 184 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 can be fit into 184 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1651.0
Deduct 98 from 184 and we're left with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
860 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1651.8
Subtracting 784 from 860 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 760 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1651.87
Subtracting 686 from 760 leaves us with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
740 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1651.877
Subtract 686 from 740 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

The final result is 1651.877 with a remainder of 0.0054.
