We're dividing 438814 by 98 
We want to divide 438814 by 98.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 43 / 98

Step 2:
98 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 43, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 438 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
98 goes into 438 4 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 392 from 438 to get 46.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 468 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 468 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 44.0
Subtract 392 from 468 to get 76.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 76, then repeat: 761 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 761 7 times, leaving a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 447.0
If we subtract 686 from 761, we get 75.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 75, then carry on: 754 / 98

Step 6:
When dividing 754 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4477.0
The remainder is 68 after subtracting 686 from 754.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 680 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 92.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4477.6
If we subtract 588 from 680, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
98 goes into 920 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4477.69
If we subtract 882 from 920, we get 38.
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 9:
380 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4477.693
Subtract 294 from 380 to 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 860 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.6938
Subtract 784 from 860 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
98 goes into 760 7 times with a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4477.69387
If we take 686 away from 760, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 740 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4477.693877
If we subtract 686 from 740, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4477.693877 with a balance of 5.4e-06.
