Let's divide 281409 by 98
We want to figure out the number of times 281409 can be divided by 98.

On to step 1:
2 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 98

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 98

Going ahead to step 3:
281 divided by 98 is 2 with a remainder of 85.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 196 from 281 to get 85.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 854 / 98

Step 4:
When dividing 854 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 784 from 854 leaves us with 70.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 700 / 98

Step 5:
98 can be fit into 700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 287.0
Deduct 686 from 700 and we're left with 14.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 149 / 98

Step 6:
The number 98 fits into 149 1 times, leaving a remainder of 51.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2871.0
If we subtract 98 from 149, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 98 fits into 510 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2871.5
If we take 490 away from 510, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 200 by 98, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2871.52
Subtract 196 from 200 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
98 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2871.52
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 400 by 98, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2871.5204
If we take 392 away from 400, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
80 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2871.5204
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 800 by 98, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2871.520408
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 784 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
98 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2871.5204081
If we take 98 away from 160, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 620 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2871.52040816
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.

After the division, we end up with 2871.52040816 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
