Let's divide 242047 by 98
We want to divide 242047 by 98.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 24, we end up with 24.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 24, then carry on: 242 / 98

On to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 242 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 242 and we're left with 46.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 46 and repeat the process: 460 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 460 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Deduct 392 from 460 and we're left with 68.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 684 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
98 can be fit into 684 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 246.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 588 from 684.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 96 and repeat the process: 967 / 98

Step 6:
98 can be fit into 967 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2469.0
Subtracting 882 from 967 leaves us with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
98 goes into 850 8 times with a remainder of 66.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2469.8
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 784 from 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
660 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2469.86
If we take 588 away from 660, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 720 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2469.867
Deduct 686 from 720 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2469.8673
Subtracting 294 from 340 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
98 goes into 460 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2469.86734
If we take 392 away from 460, we end up with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 680 6 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2469.867346
Deduct 588 from 680 and we're left with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 920 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2469.8673469
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 882 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
380 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 86.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2469.86734693
If we subtract 294 from 380, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

The final result is 2469.86734693 with a remainder of 8.6e-08.
