We divide 542003 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 542003 can be divided by 98.

Advancing to step 1:
98 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 54 / 98

On to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 54 and we're left with 54.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 54 and repeat the process: 542 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 542 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 490 from 542 to get 52.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 520 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
520 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 30.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 490 from 520.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 300 / 98

Step 5:
The number 98 fits into 300 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 553.0
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 98

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 63 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 63.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5530.0
Subtract 0 from 63 to get 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 98 fits into 630 6 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5530.6
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 588 from 630.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 420 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5530.64
Deduct 392 from 420 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
280 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 5530.642
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 840 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5530.6428
Subtracting 784 from 840 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5530.64285
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 490 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
700 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5530.642857
Subtract 686 from 700 to 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.

On to step 13:
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: 5530.6428571
If we take 98 away from 140, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
98 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5530.64285714
Deduct 392 from 420 and we're left 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.

Our division results in 5530.64285714 with a remaining 2.8e-08.
