We're dividing 597478 by 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 597478.

On to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 59 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
98 goes into 59 0 times with a remainder of 59.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 597 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
98 can be fit into 597 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 588 from 597 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 94 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 94 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 94.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60.0
Deduct 0 from 94 and we're left with 94.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 94 and continue: 947 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 947 9 times, leaving a remainder of 65.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 609.0
Subtracting 882 from 947 leaves us with 65.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 65 and continue with: 658 / 98

Step 6:
The number 98 fits into 658 6 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6096.0
Subtract 588 from 658 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 98 fits into 700 7 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6096.7
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6096.71
Subtracting 98 from 140 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6096.714
If we subtract 392 from 420, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 280 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 84.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6096.7142
Deduct 196 from 280 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 98 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6096.71428
If we subtract 784 from 840, we 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.

Step 12:
98 can be fit into 560 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6096.714285
Subtract 490 from 560 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 700 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 14.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6096.7142857
Deduct 686 from 700 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
98 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6096.71428571
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 98 from 140.
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 6096.71428571 with a balance of 4.2e-08.
