We divide 689817 by 98
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 689817.

Moving on to step 1:
6 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 6, we end up with 6.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 98

Step 2:
The number 98 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 689 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 689 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 686 from 689 to get 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 38 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 70.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 38 and continue with: 381 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
381 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 87.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 703.0
Deduct 294 from 381 and we're left with 87.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 877 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 877 8 times with a remainder of 93.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 7038.0
Subtract 784 from 877 to get 93.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Step 7:
930 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7038.9
Subtract 882 from 930 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
480 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7038.94
Subtracting 392 from 480 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 880 8 times, leaving a remainder of 96.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7038.948
If we subtract 784 from 880, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 960 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7038.9489
Subtracting 882 from 960 leaves us with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
98 can be fit into 780 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 94.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7038.94897
If we take 686 away from 780, we end up with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 940 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7038.948979
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 882 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 580 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 90.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7038.9489795
Subtract 490 from 580 to get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
The number 98 fits into 900 9 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7038.94897959
If we subtract 882 from 900, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7038.94897959 with a balance of 1.8e-08.
