We're dividing 881987 by 98 
Our goal is to divide 881987 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
88 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 88 to get 88.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 88, then repeat: 881 / 98

On to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 881 8 times, leaving a remainder of 97.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 784 from 881 and we're left with 97.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 97 and continue: 979 / 98

Step 4:
98 goes into 979 9 times with a remainder of 97.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 89.0
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 882 from 979.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 97, then carry on: 978 / 98

On to step 5:
98 goes into 978 9 times with a remainder of 96.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 899.0
If we subtract 882 from 978, we get 96.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 967 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 967 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8999.0
Deduct 882 from 967 and we're left with 85.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 850, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
98 can be fit into 850 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8999.8
If we subtract 784 from 850, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 660 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8999.86
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.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8999.867
If we subtract 686 from 720, we 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 340 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8999.8673
If we subtract 294 from 340, we get 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 11:
460 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8999.86734
Subtracting 392 from 460 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 12:
98 can be fit into 680 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 8999.867346
Deduct 588 from 680 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 920 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 8999.8673469
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 98 fits into 380 3 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8999.86734693
If we take 294 away from 380, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Our division results in 8999.86734693 with a remaining 8.6e-08.
