We're dividing 871617 by 98 
We want to divide 871617 by 98.

On to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 87 0 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 87, we end up with 87.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 87 and repeat the process: 871 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
871 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 784 from 871 leaves us with 87.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 87, then repeat: 876 / 98

Step 4:
98 goes into 876 8 times with a remainder of 92.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 784 from 876 leaves us with 92.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 92, then carry on: 921 / 98

Step 5:
When dividing 921 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 889.0
Deduct 882 from 921 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 397 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
98 can be fit into 397 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8894.0
Subtract 392 from 397 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
98 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8894.0
Subtracting 0 from 50 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 500 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8894.05
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 490 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 8894.051
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 98 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 10:
98 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8894.051
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8894.05102
Subtracting 196 from 200 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8894.05102
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 98 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8894.0510204
Deduct 392 from 400 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
98 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8894.0510204
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8894.0510204 and a remainder of 8e-08.
