We're dividing 21287 by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 21287.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 98

On to step 2:
98 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 21, we get 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 98

Step 3:
If we divide 212 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 196 from 212 to get 16.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 168 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 168 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 98 from 168, we get 70.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 70, then repeat: 707 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 707 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.0
Deduct 686 from 707 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 210 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 217.2
If we subtract 196 from 210, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217.21
Deduct 98 from 140 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 420 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217.214
If we take 392 away from 420, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
98 can be fit into 280 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 217.2142
If we subtract 196 from 280, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
840 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.21428
Subtracting 784 from 840 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
98 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 217.214285
Subtract 490 from 560 to get 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 12:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.2142857
Subtracting 686 from 700 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 13:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 217.21428571
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.

After the division, we end up with 217.21428571 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
