98971 ÷ 10 
We want to divide 98971 by 10.

Let's proceed to step 1:
9 divided by 10 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 10

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 10 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 90 from 98, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 10

On to step 3:
10 can be fit into 89 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 98.0
Subtract 80 from 89 to get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 10

Advancing to step 4:
The number 10 fits into 97 9 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 989.0
Subtract 90 from 97 to get 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 10

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 71 by 10, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 9897.0
Subtracting 70 from 71 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 10 by 10, we get 1 with a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9897.1
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 10 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9897.1
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
10 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9897.1
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 9897.1 with a remaining 0.0.
