Let's divide 877842 by 98
We want to divide 877842 by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 98

On to step 2:
98 goes into 87 0 times with a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 87, we end up with 87.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 877 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
98 can be fit into 877 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 93.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 784 from 877 and we're left with 93.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 93 and repeat the process: 938 / 98

Step 4:
If we divide 938 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 56.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 882 from 938, we get 56.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 564 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
98 can be fit into 564 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 895.0
Deduct 490 from 564 and we're left with 74.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 742 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 742 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8957.0
Subtracting 686 from 742 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.

Step 7:
The number 98 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8957.5
Deduct 490 from 560 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
700 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8957.57
If we take 686 away from 700, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 140 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8957.571
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 98 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 420 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8957.5714
If we subtract 392 from 420, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 11:
98 can be fit into 280 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8957.57142
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 196 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
98 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8957.571428
If we take 784 away from 840, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8957.5714285
Subtracting 490 from 560 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 700 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8957.57142857
If we take 686 away from 700, we end up with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8957.57142857 with a balance of 1.4e-08.
