Let's divide 535987 by 98
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 535987.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 53 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 53.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 535 / 98

Let's proceed to step 3:
98 goes into 535 5 times with a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 490 from 535, we get 45.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 459 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 459 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 67.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtracting 392 from 459 leaves us with 67.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 67, then repeat: 678 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 678 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 90.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 546.0
If we take 588 away from 678, we end up with 90.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 90, then repeat: 907 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
907 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 25.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5469.0
Subtract 882 from 907 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 250 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5469.2
Subtract 196 from 250 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 540 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5469.25
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 490 from 540.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 500 by 98, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5469.255
Subtract 490 from 500 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5469.255 with a remaining 0.001.
