We're dividing 596254 by 98 
We want to divide 596254 by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 98

Step 2:
When dividing 59 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 59.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 59, we end up with 59.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 59, then carry on: 596 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 98 fits into 596 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 588 away from 596, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 82 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
98 goes into 82 0 times with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 82, we get 82.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 82 and continue: 825 / 98

Step 5:
98 goes into 825 8 times with a remainder of 41.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 608.0
If we take 784 away from 825, we end up with 41.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 414 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 414 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6084.0
If we take 392 away from 414, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
98 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6084.2
Subtracting 196 from 220 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6084.22
If we take 196 away from 240, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 6084.22 with a balance of 0.044.
