Let's divide 878687 by 98
Let's see how many times 98 fits into 878687.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 8 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 8, we get 8.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 87 / 98

Step 2:
87 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 87 leaves us with 87.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 878 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
98 goes into 878 8 times with a remainder of 94.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 784 away from 878, we end up with 94.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 94, then repeat: 946 / 98

Step 4:
The number 98 fits into 946 9 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 89.0
If we subtract 882 from 946, we get 64.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 64, then carry on: 648 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
648 divided by 98 is 6 with a remainder of 60.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 896.0
Subtracting 588 from 648 leaves us with 60.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 60, then carry on: 607 / 98

On to step 6:
When dividing 607 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8966.0
Subtract 588 from 607 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 190 1 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8966.1
The remainder is 92 after subtracting 98 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 920 by 98, we get 9 with a remainder of 38.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8966.19
Deduct 882 from 920 and we're left 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 9:
If we divide 380 by 98, we get 3 and a remainder of 86.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8966.193
If we subtract 294 from 380, we get 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 10:
98 can be fit into 860 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8966.1938
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.

Advancing to step 11:
98 goes into 760 7 times with a remainder of 74.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8966.19387
Deduct 686 from 760 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 740 7 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8966.193877
If we subtract 686 from 740, we get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 8966.193877 and a remainder of 5.4e-06.
