Let's divide 98608978 by 871
We're looking to find how many times 871 goes into 98608978.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 871, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 871

Advancing to step 2:
98 divided by 871 is 0 with a remainder of 98.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 98, we end up with 98.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 98, then repeat: 986 / 871

Going ahead to step 3:
871 goes into 986 1 times with a remainder of 115.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 115 after subtracting 871 from 986.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 115, then repeat: 1150 / 871

On to step 4:
The number 871 fits into 1150 1 times, leaving a remainder of 279.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 871 from 1150 to get 279.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 279 and continue with: 2798 / 871

On to step 5:
The number 871 fits into 2798 3 times, leaving a remainder of 185.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we subtract 2613 from 2798, we get 185.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 185, then repeat: 1859 / 871

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 871 fits into 1859 2 times, leaving a remainder of 117.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1132.0
Deduct 1742 from 1859 and we're left with 117.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 117 and repeat the process: 1177 / 871

On to step 7:
If we divide 1177 by 871, we get 1 and a remainder of 306.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11321.0
The remainder is 306 after subtracting 871 from 1177.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 306, then repeat: 3068 / 871

Advancing to step 8:
871 can be fit into 3068 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 455.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113213.0
Subtracting 2613 from 3068 leaves us with 455.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4550, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 4550 by 871, we get 5 with a remainder of 195.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113213.5
If we take 4355 away from 4550, we end up with 195.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1950, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 871 fits into 1950 2 times, leaving a remainder of 208.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 113213.52
Subtracting 1742 from 1950 leaves us with 208.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2080, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
871 can be fit into 2080 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 338.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 113213.522
Subtracting 1742 from 2080 leaves us with 338.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3380, and continue the process.

The final result is 113213.522 with a remainder of 0.0338.
