We look at the division of 218612 by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 218612.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 218 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 218 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 196 from 218, we get 22.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 226 / 98

On to step 4:
98 goes into 226 2 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 196 away from 226, we end up with 30.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 301 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
98 can be fit into 301 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 223.0
Subtract 294 from 301 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 72 0 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2230.0
If we take 0 away from 72, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
720 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 34.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2230.7
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 686 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2230.73
Deduct 294 from 340 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
98 can be fit into 460 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2230.734
If we subtract 392 from 460, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
98 goes into 680 6 times with a remainder of 92.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2230.7346
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 588 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 920 9 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2230.73469
Subtract 882 from 920 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
98 can be fit into 380 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2230.734693
If we subtract 294 from 380, we get 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 860 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 76.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2230.7346938
Deduct 784 from 860 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 760 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2230.73469387
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 686 from 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2230.73469387 with a balance of 7.4e-08.
