We look at the division of 742698 by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 742698.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 74.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 74 to get 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 742 7 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 686 away from 742, we end up with 56.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 566 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 566 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 75.0
If we take 490 away from 566, we end up with 76.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 769 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
769 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 83.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 757.0
The remainder is 83 after subtracting 686 from 769.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 838 / 98

On to step 6:
98 can be fit into 838 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7578.0
If we take 784 away from 838, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
98 can be fit into 540 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7578.5
Subtract 490 from 540 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 500 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7578.55
Subtract 490 from 500 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 7578.55, with a leftover of 0.01.
