Let's divide 971698 by 98
We want to divide 971698 by 98.

Advancing to step 1:
98 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 97.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 97 after subtracting 0 from 97.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 97 and continue: 971 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
971 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 89.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 882 from 971 and we're left with 89.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 89, then repeat: 896 / 98

On to step 4:
When dividing 896 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 882 from 896.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
149 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 991.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 98 from 149.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
518 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9915.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 490 from 518.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 280 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9915.2
If we subtract 196 from 280, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
98 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9915.28
Subtract 784 from 840 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 9915.285
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 490 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9915.2857
If we subtract 686 from 700, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9915.28571
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.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9915.285714
Deduct 392 from 420 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
98 goes into 280 2 times with a remainder of 84.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9915.2857142
If we subtract 196 from 280, we get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
98 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9915.28571428
If we take 784 away from 840, we end up 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.

Our division results in 9915.28571428 with a remaining 5.6e-08.
