Let's divide 31578998 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 31578998.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 31 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 31 0 times, leaving a remainder of 31.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 31 and we're left with 31.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 315 / 98

Step 3:
98 goes into 315 3 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 294 from 315 leaves us with 21.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 217 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
217 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 196 from 217 and we're left with 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 98

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 218 by 98, we get 2 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 322.0
Subtract 196 from 218 to get 22.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 229 / 98

Step 6:
When dividing 229 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 33.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3222.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 196 from 229.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 339 / 98

Moving on to step 7:
98 can be fit into 339 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32223.0
Deduct 294 from 339 and we're left with 45.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 45 and continue: 458 / 98

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 458 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 66.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 322234.0
If we take 392 away from 458, we end up with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 660 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 322234.6
If we subtract 588 from 660, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
98 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 322234.67
Subtracting 686 from 720 leaves us with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
98 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 322234.673
Subtracting 294 from 340 leaves us with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
98 goes into 460 4 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 322234.6734
Deduct 392 from 460 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
98 goes into 680 6 times with a remainder of 92.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 322234.67346
If we subtract 588 from 680, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
98 goes into 920 9 times with a remainder of 38.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 322234.673469
Subtracting 882 from 920 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
98 can be fit into 380 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 322234.6734693
If we take 294 away from 380, we end up with 86.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 16:
The number 98 fits into 860 8 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 322234.67346938
Subtracting 784 from 860 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 322234.67346938 with a balance of 7.6e-08.
