We divide 421142 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 421142.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 42 / 98

Step 2:
42 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 42 to get 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 421 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 392 from 421.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 291 / 98

Step 4:
98 can be fit into 291 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 95.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtracting 196 from 291 leaves us with 95.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 95, then carry on: 954 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 954 9 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 429.0
If we subtract 882 from 954, we get 72.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 72 and continue with: 722 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
722 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 36.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4297.0
If we take 686 away from 722, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 66.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4297.3
Deduct 294 from 360 and we're left with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4297.36
If we take 588 away from 660, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 720 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4297.367
Subtract 686 from 720 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
340 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4297.3673
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
98 goes into 460 4 times with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4297.36734
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 680 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 92.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4297.367346
If we take 588 away from 680, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 goes into 920 9 times with a remainder of 38.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4297.3673469
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 882 from 920.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 98 fits into 380 3 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4297.36734693
Subtract 294 from 380 to 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.

The final outcome is 4297.36734693, with a leftover of 8.6e-08.
