Let's divide 549236 by 98
We want to divide 549236 by 98.

On to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
54 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 549 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 549 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 59.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 490 away from 549, we end up with 59.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 592 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 592 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 588 from 592.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 43 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
98 goes into 43 0 times with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 560.0
If we subtract 0 from 43, we get 43.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 436 / 98

On to step 6:
98 can be fit into 436 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5604.0
Subtracting 392 from 436 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.

Step 7:
If we divide 440 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5604.4
Deduct 392 from 440 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 480 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 88.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5604.44
Deduct 392 from 480 and we're left with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5604.44 with a balance of 0.088.
