We divide 537942 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 537942.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 53 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 53 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 53 to get 53.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 53, then repeat: 537 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 537 5 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 490 from 537 leaves us with 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 479 / 98

On to step 4:
479 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 87.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 54.0
If we subtract 392 from 479, we get 87.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 874 / 98

On to step 5:
98 goes into 874 8 times with a remainder of 90.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
Deduct 784 from 874 and we're left with 90.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 90, then carry on: 902 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
98 can be fit into 902 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5489.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 882 from 902.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
98 goes into 200 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5489.2
If we subtract 196 from 200, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
98 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5489.2
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5489.204
Subtracting 392 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
98 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5489.204
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
800 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5489.20408
If we subtract 784 from 800, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 160 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5489.204081
Subtract 98 from 160 to get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 620 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5489.2040816
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 588 from 620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5489.20408163
Subtract 294 from 320 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5489.20408163, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
