We divide 978473 by 98
Our goal is to divide 978473 by 98.

On to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
97 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 97.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 97, we get 97.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 97, then repeat: 978 / 98

Step 3:
98 can be fit into 978 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 96.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 96 after subtracting 882 from 978.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 96, then carry on: 964 / 98

Step 4:
When dividing 964 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 82.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 99.0
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 882 from 964.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 82, then repeat: 827 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
98 goes into 827 8 times with a remainder of 43.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 998.0
Deduct 784 from 827 and we're left with 43.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 433 / 98

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 433 4 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9984.0
Deduct 392 from 433 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Step 7:
98 can be fit into 410 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9984.4
Subtracting 392 from 410 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
98 can be fit into 180 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 82.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 9984.41
Subtracting 98 from 180 leaves us 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 820 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9984.418
If we subtract 784 from 820, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 98 fits into 360 3 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 9984.4183
If we subtract 294 from 360, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 660 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 9984.41836
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.

Step 12:
98 goes into 720 7 times with a remainder of 34.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9984.418367
Subtract 686 from 720 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
98 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 46.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9984.4183673
Deduct 294 from 340 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 460 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9984.41836734
If we take 392 away from 460, we end up 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.

The final outcome is 9984.41836734, with a leftover of 6.8e-08.
