Let's divide 16538 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 16538 can be divided by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
98 goes into 16 0 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 16 to get 16.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 165 / 98

Step 3:
When dividing 165 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 67.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 98 away from 165, we end up with 67.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 67 and repeat the process: 673 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 673 6 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtracting 588 from 673 leaves us with 85.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 858 / 98

On to step 5:
If we divide 858 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 74.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.0
Subtract 784 from 858 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 740 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.7
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 686 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 168.75
Subtract 490 from 540 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
98 goes into 500 5 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 168.755
Deduct 490 from 500 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 168.755 with a balance of 0.001.
