We're dividing 98721789 by 281 
We want to divide 98721789 by 281.

On to step 1:
The number 281 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 281

Going ahead to step 2:
281 goes into 98 0 times with a remainder of 98.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 98 to get 98.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 98, then repeat: 987 / 281

Advancing to step 3:
281 goes into 987 3 times with a remainder of 144.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 843 away from 987, we end up with 144.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 144 and continue with: 1442 / 281

On to step 4:
281 can be fit into 1442 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 1405 from 1442.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 371 / 281

On to step 5:
281 goes into 371 1 times with a remainder of 90.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 351.0
The remainder is 90 after subtracting 281 from 371.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 90 and repeat the process: 907 / 281

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 281 fits into 907 3 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3513.0
Deduct 843 from 907 and we're left with 64.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 648 / 281

On to step 7:
648 divided by 281 is 2 with a remainder of 86.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35132.0
Subtracting 562 from 648 leaves us with 86.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 869 / 281

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 869 by 281, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 351323.0
If we take 843 away from 869, we end up with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 260 by 281, we get 0 with a remainder of 260.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 351323.0
If we subtract 0 from 260, we get 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
281 can be fit into 2600 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 71.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 351323.09
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 2529 from 2600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
710 divided by 281 is 2 with a remainder of 148.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 351323.092
Deduct 562 from 710 and we're left with 148.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 1480 by 281, we get 5 with a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 351323.0925
Subtracting 1405 from 1480 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
281 can be fit into 750 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 188.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 351323.09252
Subtracting 562 from 750 leaves us with 188.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 281 fits into 1880 6 times, leaving a remainder of 194.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 351323.092526
Subtract 1686 from 1880 to get 194.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1940, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
1940 divided by 281 is 6 with a remainder of 254.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 351323.0925266
If we subtract 1686 from 1940, we get 254.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2540, and continue the process.

The final result is 351323.0925266 with a remainder of 2.54e-06.
