Let's divide 98942859 by 581
Our goal is to divide 98942859 by 581.

Let's proceed to step 1:
581 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 581

Advancing to step 2:
98 divided by 581 is 0 with a remainder of 98.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 98, we get 98.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 98, then carry on: 989 / 581

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 989 by 581, we get 1 and a remainder of 408.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 581 from 989, we get 408.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 408 and repeat the process: 4084 / 581

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 581 fits into 4084 7 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 4067 from 4084 leaves us with 17.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 172 / 581

Moving on to step 5:
581 can be fit into 172 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 172.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 170.0
The remainder is 172 after subtracting 0 from 172.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 172 and continue: 1728 / 581

Step 6:
When dividing 1728 by 581, we get 2 with a remainder of 566.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1702.0
The remainder is 566 after subtracting 1162 from 1728.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 566, then repeat: 5665 / 581

On to step 7:
The number 581 fits into 5665 9 times, leaving a remainder of 436.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17029.0
If we take 5229 away from 5665, we end up with 436.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 436, then carry on: 4369 / 581

Going ahead to step 8:
4369 divided by 581 is 7 with a remainder of 302.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 170297.0
The remainder is 302 after subtracting 4067 from 4369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3020, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 3020 by 581, we get 5 and a remainder of 115.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170297.5
Subtract 2905 from 3020 to get 115.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
581 can be fit into 1150 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 569.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170297.51
Deduct 581 from 1150 and we're left with 569.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5690, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
5690 divided by 581 is 9 with a remainder of 461.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 170297.519
Subtract 5229 from 5690 to get 461.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
581 goes into 4610 7 times with a remainder of 543.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 170297.5197
Deduct 4067 from 4610 and we're left with 543.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5430, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
When dividing 5430 by 581, we get 9 with a remainder of 201.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 170297.51979
Subtracting 5229 from 5430 leaves us with 201.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2010, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
581 can be fit into 2010 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 267.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170297.519793
Subtracting 1743 from 2010 leaves us with 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2670, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
2670 divided by 581 is 4 with a remainder of 346.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 170297.5197934
If we take 2324 away from 2670, we end up with 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
When dividing 3460 by 581, we get 5 with a remainder of 555.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 170297.51979345
The remainder is 555 after subtracting 2905 from 3460.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5550, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 170297.51979345 and a remainder of 5.55e-07.
