284842 divided by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 284842.

Step 1:
98 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 98

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 284 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 284 2 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 196 away from 284, we end up with 88.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 88 and continue with: 888 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 888 9 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 882 from 888, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 64 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
98 can be fit into 64 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 290.0
Deduct 0 from 64 and we're left with 64.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 642 / 98

Step 6:
98 goes into 642 6 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2906.0
If we take 588 away from 642, we end up with 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 7:
98 goes into 540 5 times with a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2906.5
If we take 490 away from 540, we end up with 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.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2906.55
Subtracting 490 from 500 leaves us 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.

Our division results in 2906.55 with a remaining 0.01.
