149871 ÷ 98 
We want to divide 149871 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 14 / 98

Step 2:
If we divide 14 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 14, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 149 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 149 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 98 from 149 leaves us with 51.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 518 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
98 goes into 518 5 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we subtract 490 from 518, we get 28.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 287 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
287 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 91.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 152.0
Subtract 196 from 287 to get 91.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 91, then repeat: 911 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
911 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 29.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1529.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 882 from 911.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 290 2 times, leaving a remainder of 94.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1529.2
Subtracting 196 from 290 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
98 can be fit into 940 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1529.29
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 882 from 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 580 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1529.295
Deduct 490 from 580 and we're left with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 900 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1529.2959
If we subtract 882 from 900, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
98 goes into 180 1 times with a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1529.29591
Subtracting 98 from 180 leaves us with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 820 8 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 1529.295918
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 784 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 98 fits into 360 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1529.2959183
The remainder is 66 after subtracting 294 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 660 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1529.29591836
If we take 588 away from 660, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1529.29591836 with a remaining 7.2e-08.
