We're dividing 138537 by 98 
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 138537.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 13 / 98

Going ahead to step 2:
98 goes into 13 0 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 138 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 138 by 98, we get 1 and a remainder of 40.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 98 from 138 and we're left with 40.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 40, then repeat: 405 / 98

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 405 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 392 from 405 to get 13.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 133 / 98

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 133 1 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 141.0
If we take 98 away from 133, we end up with 35.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 357 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 357 3 times, leaving a remainder of 63.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1413.0
If we take 294 away from 357, we end up with 63.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 630, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
98 can be fit into 630 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1413.6
If we subtract 588 from 630, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
The number 98 fits into 420 4 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1413.64
If we subtract 392 from 420, we get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1413.642
Deduct 196 from 280 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
840 divided by 98 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1413.6428
Subtracting 784 from 840 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
98 goes into 560 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1413.64285
Subtract 490 from 560 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
98 can be fit into 700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1413.642857
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 686 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
The number 98 fits into 140 1 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1413.6428571
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 98 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 420 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1413.64285714
Subtract 392 from 420 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 1413.64285714 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
