Let's divide 873398 by 98
Our goal is to divide 873398 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
98 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 98

Step 2:
If we divide 87 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 87.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 87, we get 87.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 87 and continue with: 873 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
873 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 89.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 784 from 873, we get 89.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 89, then repeat: 893 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 893 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
Subtracting 882 from 893 leaves us with 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
98 can be fit into 119 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 891.0
Subtract 98 from 119 to get 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 98

Step 6:
98 goes into 218 2 times with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8912.0
If we take 196 away from 218, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 220 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8912.2
Deduct 196 from 220 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 240 2 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8912.22
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 8912.22 with a balance of 0.044.
