We divide 431043 by 98
Our goal is to divide 431043 by 98.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 43 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
43 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 43.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 43, we end up with 43.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 431 / 98

Step 3:
When dividing 431 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 392 from 431 leaves us with 39.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 39, then repeat: 390 / 98

Step 4:
If we divide 390 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 96.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43.0
Deduct 294 from 390 and we're left with 96.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 96 and continue: 964 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 964 9 times, leaving a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 439.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 882 from 964.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 82, then carry on: 823 / 98

On to step 6:
98 can be fit into 823 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4398.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 784 from 823.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
98 can be fit into 390 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4398.3
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 294 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 960 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 78.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4398.39
If we take 882 away from 960, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 780 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4398.397
Subtracting 686 from 780 leaves us with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 940 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4398.3979
Subtract 882 from 940 to get 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 11:
If we divide 580 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 90.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4398.39795
If we take 490 away from 580, we end up with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
98 can be fit into 900 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4398.397959
Subtracting 882 from 900 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
180 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4398.3979591
Deduct 98 from 180 and we're left with 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 14:
When dividing 820 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4398.39795918
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 784 from 820.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final result is 4398.39795918 with a remainder of 3.6e-08.
