We look at the division of 242481 by 98 
We want to divide 242481 by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 24, we get 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 98

Step 3:
98 can be fit into 242 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 196 from 242, we get 46.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 464 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 464 4 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 392 from 464.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 728 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
728 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 247.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 686 from 728.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 42, then repeat: 421 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 421 4 times with a remainder of 29.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2474.0
Deduct 392 from 421 and we're left with 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
98 goes into 290 2 times with a remainder of 94.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2474.2
If we subtract 196 from 290, we get 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Step 8:
98 goes into 940 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2474.29
If we subtract 882 from 940, we get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
580 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2474.295
If we take 490 away from 580, we end up 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.

Step 10:
98 goes into 900 9 times with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2474.2959
Subtract 882 from 900 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
98 goes into 180 1 times with a remainder of 82.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2474.29591
Subtract 98 from 180 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 820 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2474.295918
Deduct 784 from 820 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2474.2959183
If we subtract 294 from 360, we get 66.
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.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2474.29591836
Deduct 588 from 660 and we're left 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2474.29591836 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
