Let's divide 556871 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 556871 can be divided by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
55 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 55.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 55 after subtracting 0 from 55.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 556 / 98

Step 3:
98 goes into 556 5 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 490 from 556.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 66 and continue with: 668 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
98 can be fit into 668 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 588 from 668, we get 80.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 807 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
98 can be fit into 807 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 568.0
Subtract 784 from 807 to get 23.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 231 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
98 can be fit into 231 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 35.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5682.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 196 from 231.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
98 can be fit into 350 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5682.3
If we subtract 294 from 350, we 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 560 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5682.35
Subtract 490 from 560 to 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 9:
When dividing 700 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5682.357
If we subtract 686 from 700, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 140 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5682.3571
Subtract 98 from 140 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 420 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5682.35714
If we take 392 away from 420, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 280 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5682.357142
Deduct 196 from 280 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 840 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5682.3571428
If we subtract 784 from 840, we 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.

On to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5682.35714285
Subtract 490 from 560 to 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.

Our division results in 5682.35714285 with a remaining 7e-08.
