We're dividing 125038 by 98 
We want to figure out the number of times 125038 can be divided by 98.

Moving on to step 1:
98 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 12 / 98

Step 2:
98 can be fit into 12 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 12 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 125 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 125 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 98 away from 125, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 270 / 98

Step 4:
If we divide 270 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 74.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 196 from 270 to get 74.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 743 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
98 can be fit into 743 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 57.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 127.0
Subtracting 686 from 743 leaves us with 57.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 578 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 578 5 times with a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1275.0
If we subtract 490 from 578, we get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
98 can be fit into 880 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1275.8
Subtracting 784 from 880 leaves us with 96.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 960, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 960 9 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1275.89
Subtract 882 from 960 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
98 goes into 780 7 times with a remainder of 94.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1275.897
Deduct 686 from 780 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
98 goes into 940 9 times with a remainder of 58.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1275.8979
Subtract 882 from 940 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Step 11:
98 goes into 580 5 times with a remainder of 90.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1275.89795
Subtracting 490 from 580 leaves us with 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 900, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 900 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1275.897959
If we subtract 882 from 900, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
180 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1275.8979591
If we take 98 away from 180, we end up with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 820 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1275.89795918
If we take 784 away from 820, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1275.89795918, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
