We're dividing 280744 by 98 
We want to divide 280744 by 98.

Step 1:
The number 98 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 98

Moving on to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 280 / 98

Step 3:
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: 2.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 196 from 280.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 847 / 98

Step 4:
If we divide 847 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 63 after subtracting 784 from 847.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 63, then repeat: 634 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
98 goes into 634 6 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we take 588 away from 634, we end up with 46.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 46, then carry on: 464 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 can be fit into 464 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2864.0
Subtracting 392 from 464 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 720 7 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2864.7
If we take 686 away from 720, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2864.73
Subtracting 294 from 340 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 460 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2864.734
If we subtract 392 from 460, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
680 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 92.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2864.7346
If we take 588 away from 680, we end up with 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
98 can be fit into 920 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2864.73469
Subtracting 882 from 920 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 380 3 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2864.734693
If we take 294 away from 380, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 98 fits into 860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2864.7346938
Deduct 784 from 860 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
98 can be fit into 760 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2864.73469387
Subtract 686 from 760 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 2864.73469387, and the remainder is 7.4e-08.
