We look at the division of 872147 by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 872147.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
87 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 87, then repeat: 872 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 872 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 88.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 784 from 872 leaves us with 88.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 88, then carry on: 881 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
98 goes into 881 8 times with a remainder of 97.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 784 from 881 leaves us with 97.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 97, then repeat: 974 / 98

Step 5:
The number 98 fits into 974 9 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 889.0
Deduct 882 from 974 and we're left with 92.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 92 and repeat the process: 927 / 98

On to step 6:
When dividing 927 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8899.0
Subtract 882 from 927 to get 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
98 goes into 450 4 times with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8899.4
Subtracting 392 from 450 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 8:
98 can be fit into 580 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 90.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8899.45
If we subtract 490 from 580, we get 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
900 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8899.459
If we subtract 882 from 900, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
180 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8899.4591
Subtract 98 from 180 to get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 820 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8899.45918
If we take 784 away from 820, 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.

Step 12:
98 can be fit into 360 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 66.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8899.459183
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
98 can be fit into 660 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8899.4591836
Subtract 588 from 660 to get 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 14:
98 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8899.45918367
Deduct 686 from 720 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 8899.45918367 with a balance of 3.4e-08.
