We're dividing 394989 by 98 
We want to divide 394989 by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 98

On to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 39 0 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 394 / 98

Step 3:
When dividing 394 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 392 from 394.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
29 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 29, then repeat: 298 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 298 by 98, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 403.0
If we take 294 away from 298, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 49 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 49.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4030.0
Deduct 0 from 49 and we're left with 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
490 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4030.5
Subtract 490 from 490 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4030.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 98 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4030.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 4030.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
