We divide 304857 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 304857 can be divided by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 30 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 30 and continue with: 304 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 304 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 294 from 304 to get 10.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 108 / 98

On to step 4:
When dividing 108 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 98 from 108 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 105 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
98 goes into 105 1 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 311.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 98 from 105.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 98

Step 6:
77 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 77.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3110.0
Subtract 0 from 77 to get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 770 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3110.7
Deduct 686 from 770 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 840 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3110.78
Subtract 784 from 840 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3110.785
If we subtract 490 from 560, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3110.7857
Subtract 686 from 700 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 11:
140 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3110.78571
If we take 98 away from 140, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
98 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3110.785714
If we subtract 392 from 420, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
280 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3110.7857142
Subtracting 196 from 280 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 840 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3110.78571428
Subtracting 784 from 840 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 3110.78571428 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
