Let's divide 156879 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 156879.

Let's proceed to step 1:
98 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 98

Step 2:
98 can be fit into 15 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 15 and we're left with 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
98 can be fit into 156 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 98 away from 156, we end up with 58.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 588 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
98 goes into 588 6 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 588 from 588 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 160.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
79 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 79.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1600.0
Subtract 0 from 79 to get 79.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 790, and continue the process.

Step 7:
98 can be fit into 790 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1600.8
If we take 784 away from 790, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1600.8
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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 600 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1600.806
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 588 from 600.
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 10:
120 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1600.8061
Subtracting 98 from 120 leaves us with 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 11:
If we divide 220 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1600.80612
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 196 from 220.
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 12:
The number 98 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1600.806122
Subtracting 196 from 240 leaves us 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 1600.806122 and a remainder of 4.4e-06.
