We look at the division of 871240 by 98 
We want to figure out the number of times 871240 can be divided by 98.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 87 0 times, leaving a remainder of 87.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 871 / 98

Step 3:
98 can be fit into 871 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 784 away from 871, we end up with 87.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 872 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
872 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 88.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 88.0
If we take 784 away from 872, we end up with 88.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 88, then carry on: 884 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
884 divided by 98 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 889.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 882 from 884.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
20 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8890.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 200 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8890.2
If we take 196 away from 200, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 40 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8890.2
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8890.204
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 392 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 98 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8890.204
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
98 goes into 800 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8890.20408
Subtracting 784 from 800 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8890.204081
If we subtract 98 from 160, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 goes into 620 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8890.2040816
Subtract 588 from 620 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 98 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8890.20408163
Deduct 294 from 320 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 8890.20408163, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
