Let's divide 101989 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 101989 can be divided by 98.

Let's proceed to step 1:
98 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 10 / 98

Step 2:
When dividing 10 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 98

Step 3:
101 divided by 98 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 98 from 101 to get 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 98

Advancing to step 4:
98 goes into 39 0 times with a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
Deduct 0 from 39 and we're left with 39.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 39 and repeat the process: 398 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
98 can be fit into 398 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 104.0
Subtract 392 from 398 to get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 98

Let's proceed to step 6:
98 goes into 69 0 times with a remainder of 69.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1040.0
Subtracting 0 from 69 leaves us with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

Step 7:
98 goes into 690 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1040.7
If we take 686 away from 690, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 98, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1040.7
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1040.704
If we subtract 392 from 400, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1040.704
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
98 goes into 800 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1040.70408
If we take 784 away from 800, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
98 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1040.704081
Deduct 98 from 160 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 620 by 98, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1040.7040816
Subtract 588 from 620 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
320 divided by 98 is 3 with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1040.70408163
If we take 294 away from 320, 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.

The final outcome is 1040.70408163, with a leftover of 2.6e-08.
