We're dividing 98694578 by 427 
Our goal is to divide 98694578 by 427.

Going ahead to step 1:
427 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 427

Going ahead to step 2:
427 goes into 98 0 times with a remainder of 98.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 98 after subtracting 0 from 98.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 98, then repeat: 986 / 427

Let's proceed to step 3:
986 divided by 427 is 2 with a remainder of 132.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 854 away from 986, we end up with 132.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 132 and continue: 1329 / 427

Moving on to step 4:
1329 divided by 427 is 3 with a remainder of 48.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 1281 from 1329 to get 48.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 48, then carry on: 484 / 427

Moving on to step 5:
484 divided by 427 is 1 with a remainder of 57.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 231.0
Deduct 427 from 484 and we're left with 57.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 57, then repeat: 575 / 427

Step 6:
If we divide 575 by 427, we get 1 and a remainder of 148.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2311.0
Subtract 427 from 575 to get 148.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 148 and repeat the process: 1487 / 427

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 1487 by 427, we get 3 and a remainder of 206.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23113.0
Subtract 1281 from 1487 to get 206.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 206, then repeat: 2068 / 427

Going ahead to step 8:
427 can be fit into 2068 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 360.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 231134.0
If we subtract 1708 from 2068, we get 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3600, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 427 fits into 3600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 184.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 231134.8
If we take 3416 away from 3600, we end up with 184.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 1840 by 427, we get 4 with a remainder of 132.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 231134.84
Subtract 1708 from 1840 to get 132.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 1320 by 427, we get 3 and a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 231134.843
Subtracting 1281 from 1320 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 390 by 427, we get 0 and a remainder of 390.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 231134.843
The remainder is 390 after subtracting 0 from 390.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3900, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 427 fits into 3900 9 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 231134.84309
If we take 3843 away from 3900, we end up with 57.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 570, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
427 goes into 570 1 times with a remainder of 143.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 231134.843091
Subtract 427 from 570 to get 143.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 15:
The number 427 fits into 1430 3 times, leaving a remainder of 149.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 231134.8430913
Subtracting 1281 from 1430 leaves us with 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
427 can be fit into 1490 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 209.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 231134.84309133
Subtract 1281 from 1490 to get 209.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2090, and continue the process.

The final result is 231134.84309133 with a remainder of 2.09e-07.
