Let's divide 870947 by 98
We want to divide 870947 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 8 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 0 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 can be fit into 87 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 87 and we're left with 87.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 87 and repeat the process: 870 / 98

On to step 3:
If we divide 870 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 86.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 784 from 870.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 869 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
98 goes into 869 8 times with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Deduct 784 from 869 and we're left with 85.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 854 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
98 goes into 854 8 times with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 888.0
If we take 784 away from 854, we end up with 70.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 707 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
98 can be fit into 707 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8887.0
Subtracting 686 from 707 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8887.2
Subtracting 196 from 210 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 140 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8887.21
If we subtract 98 from 140, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 8887.214
Subtracting 392 from 420 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
280 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 8887.2142
If we take 196 away from 280, we end up with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8887.21428
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8887.214285
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 490 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8887.2142857
Deduct 686 from 700 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
98 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8887.21428571
If we take 98 away from 140, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 8887.21428571 and a remainder of 4.2e-08.
