We're dividing 98609541 by 344 
We're looking to find how many times 344 goes into 98609541.

Going ahead to step 1:
344 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 344

Let's proceed to step 2:
344 can be fit into 98 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 98.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 98 to get 98.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 98, then repeat: 986 / 344

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 986 by 344, we get 2 and a remainder of 298.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 688 from 986 to get 298.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 298 and continue with: 2980 / 344

Moving on to step 4:
344 can be fit into 2980 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 2752 from 2980 to get 228.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 228, then carry on: 2289 / 344

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 2289 by 344, we get 6 and a remainder of 225.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 286.0
If we take 2064 away from 2289, we end up with 225.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 225 and continue with: 2255 / 344

Let's proceed to step 6:
344 goes into 2255 6 times with a remainder of 191.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2866.0
If we take 2064 away from 2255, we end up with 191.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 191, then repeat: 1914 / 344

Moving on to step 7:
344 can be fit into 1914 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 194.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28665.0
The remainder is 194 after subtracting 1720 from 1914.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 194 and repeat the process: 1941 / 344

Moving on to step 8:
The number 344 fits into 1941 5 times, leaving a remainder of 221.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 286655.0
Subtract 1720 from 1941 to get 221.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2210, and continue the process.

Step 9:
2210 divided by 344 is 6 with a remainder of 146.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286655.6
Subtract 2064 from 2210 to get 146.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1460, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 344 fits into 1460 4 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286655.64
If we take 1376 away from 1460, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
344 can be fit into 840 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 286655.642
Subtract 688 from 840 to get 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 1520 by 344, we get 4 with a remainder of 144.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 286655.6424
If we subtract 1376 from 1520, we get 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1440 by 344, we get 4 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 286655.64244
Subtracting 1376 from 1440 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 286655.64244 with a balance of 6.4e-05.
