We're dividing 214321 by 98 
We want to divide 214321 by 98.

Moving on to step 1:
98 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 21 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 214 / 98

Step 3:
When dividing 214 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 196 from 214 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 183 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 183 1 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 85 after subtracting 98 from 183.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 852 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 852 8 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 218.0
Deduct 784 from 852 and we're left with 68.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 68 and repeat the process: 681 / 98

On to step 6:
If we divide 681 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 93.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2186.0
The remainder is 93 after subtracting 588 from 681.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 930, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
98 goes into 930 9 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2186.9
If we take 882 away from 930, we end up with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 98 fits into 480 4 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2186.94
Subtract 392 from 480 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
98 can be fit into 880 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2186.948
If we subtract 784 from 880, we get 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Step 10:
960 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 78.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2186.9489
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
780 divided by 98 is 7 with a remainder of 94.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2186.94897
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.

On to step 12:
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: 2186.948979
Subtracting 882 from 940 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
98 goes into 580 5 times with a remainder of 90.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2186.9489795
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 490 from 580.
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 14:
If we divide 900 by 98, we get 9 and a remainder of 18.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2186.94897959
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.

Our division results in 2186.94897959 with a remaining 1.8e-08.
