Let's divide 278456 by 98
Our goal is to divide 278456 by 98.

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
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 278 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 278 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 82.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 196 from 278, we get 82.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 82 and continue: 824 / 98

Step 4:
If we divide 824 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we subtract 784 from 824, we get 40.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 405 / 98

On to step 5:
405 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 13.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 284.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 392 from 405.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 136 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
136 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 38.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2841.0
If we take 98 away from 136, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2841.3
Subtracting 294 from 380 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 860 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2841.38
Subtract 784 from 860 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 760 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2841.387
Subtract 686 from 760 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
740 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2841.3877
If we subtract 686 from 740, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2841.3877 with a balance of 0.00054.
