We look at the division of 23982 by 98 
We want to figure out the number of times 23982 can be divided by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
98 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
23 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 23, we get 23.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 239 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 239 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 43.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 196 from 239 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 438 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 438 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtract 392 from 438 to get 46.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 462 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 462 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244.0
Deduct 392 from 462 and we're left with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 700 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244.7
Subtracting 686 from 700 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 140 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 244.71
Subtract 98 from 140 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 420 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 244.714
Subtracting 392 from 420 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 280 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 244.7142
Subtracting 196 from 280 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 840 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244.71428
Deduct 784 from 840 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 560 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 244.714285
Subtracting 490 from 560 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
98 goes into 700 7 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 244.7142857
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 686 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 244.71428571
Deduct 98 from 140 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 244.71428571 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
