We're dividing 406942 by 98 
Our goal is to divide 406942 by 98.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 40 / 98

On to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 406 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 392 from 406.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 149 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 41.0
Subtract 98 from 149 to get 51.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 514 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
514 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 415.0
If we subtract 490 from 514, we get 24.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 242 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 can be fit into 242 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4152.0
Subtract 196 from 242 to 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.

Moving on to step 7:
460 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 68.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4152.4
Subtract 392 from 460 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 680 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 4152.46
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.

Step 9:
920 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4152.469
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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 4152.4693
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.

Advancing to step 11:
860 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4152.46938
If we take 784 away from 860, we end up with 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 12:
98 can be fit into 760 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4152.469387
If we subtract 686 from 760, we 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
740 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 54.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4152.4693877
If we take 686 away from 740, we end up with 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 4152.4693877 with a balance of 5.4e-07.
