We're dividing 125985 by 98 
Our goal is to divide 125985 by 98.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 98

On to step 2:
12 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
125 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 98 from 125 leaves us with 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 279 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 279 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 83.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 196 from 279 and we're left with 83.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 83, then carry on: 838 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
98 can be fit into 838 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 128.0
Subtracting 784 from 838 leaves us with 54.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 545 / 98

Step 6:
If we divide 545 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1285.0
Deduct 490 from 545 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 550 5 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1285.5
Subtracting 490 from 550 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1285.56
Subtracting 588 from 600 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 120 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 22.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1285.561
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 98 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 10:
98 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1285.5612
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.

On to step 11:
98 can be fit into 240 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1285.56122
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 1285.56122 and a remainder of 4.4e-05.
