242762 ÷ 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 242762.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 24 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 24 and we're left with 24.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 242 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 242 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 46.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 196 away from 242, we end up with 46.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 467 / 98

Step 4:
When dividing 467 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 75.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 392 from 467 and we're left with 75.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 756 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
98 goes into 756 7 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 247.0
Subtract 686 from 756 to get 70.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 702 / 98

On to step 6:
When dividing 702 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2477.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 686 from 702.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2477.1
Deduct 98 from 160 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2477.16
Subtract 588 from 620 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
98 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2477.163
If we take 294 away from 320, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
260 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2477.1632
Subtract 196 from 260 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 640 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2477.16326
If we take 588 away from 640, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
98 can be fit into 520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2477.163265
If we take 490 away from 520, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 300 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2477.1632653
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 294 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 14:
98 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2477.1632653
If we take 0 away from 60, we end up with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

The final result is 2477.1632653 with a remainder of 6e-08.
