We look at the division of 642589 by 98 
We want to figure out the number of times 642589 can be divided by 98.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 98

Step 2:
When dividing 64 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 64 and continue with: 642 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 642 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 54.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 588 away from 642, we end up with 54.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 545 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
545 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 55.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65.0
If we take 490 away from 545, we end up with 55.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 558 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
98 goes into 558 5 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 655.0
Subtracting 490 from 558 leaves us with 68.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 689 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 689 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6557.0
If we subtract 686 from 689, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
30 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6557.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6557.03
If we take 294 away from 300, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 can be fit into 60 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6557.03
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
98 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6557.0306
If we subtract 588 from 600, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 120 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6557.03061
If we subtract 98 from 120, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
98 goes into 220 2 times with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6557.030612
If we subtract 196 from 220, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 240 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6557.0306122
Deduct 196 from 240 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 6557.0306122 and a remainder of 4.4e-07.
