686456 ÷ 98 
We're looking to find how many times 98 goes into 686456.

On to step 1:
The number 98 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to get 68.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 686 / 98

Step 3:
When dividing 686 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtract 686 from 686 to get 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 4 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 70.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 98

Moving on to step 5:
45 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 700.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 45, then repeat: 456 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
456 divided by 98 is 4 with a remainder of 64.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7004.0
Deduct 392 from 456 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 640 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7004.6
Subtract 588 from 640 to get 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 8:
98 goes into 520 5 times with a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7004.65
If we subtract 490 from 520, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
300 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7004.653
Subtracting 294 from 300 leaves us with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 60 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 7004.653
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Step 11:
98 goes into 600 6 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7004.65306
Subtracting 588 from 600 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 120 by 98, we get 1 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7004.653061
Subtract 98 from 120 to get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
98 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7004.6530612
Deduct 196 from 220 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
240 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7004.65306122
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 7004.65306122 with a balance of 4.4e-08.
