We look at the division of 98979868 by 171 
Let's see how many times 171 fits into 98979868.

Step 1:
If we divide 9 by 171, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 171

Step 2:
The number 171 fits into 98 0 times, leaving a remainder of 98.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 98 to get 98.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 98, then repeat: 989 / 171

On to step 3:
171 can be fit into 989 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 134.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 855 from 989 leaves us with 134.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 134 and repeat the process: 1347 / 171

Let's proceed to step 4:
171 goes into 1347 7 times with a remainder of 150.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtract 1197 from 1347 to get 150.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 150, then repeat: 1509 / 171

Moving on to step 5:
171 can be fit into 1509 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 141.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 578.0
If we subtract 1368 from 1509, we get 141.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 141 and continue with: 1418 / 171

Step 6:
The number 171 fits into 1418 8 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5788.0
Deduct 1368 from 1418 and we're left with 50.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 50, then repeat: 506 / 171

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 171 fits into 506 2 times, leaving a remainder of 164.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 57882.0
The remainder is 164 after subtracting 342 from 506.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 164, then carry on: 1648 / 171

Step 8:
The number 171 fits into 1648 9 times, leaving a remainder of 109.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 578829.0
If we take 1539 away from 1648, we end up with 109.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1090, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
171 can be fit into 1090 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 578829.6
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 1026 from 1090.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 171 fits into 640 3 times, leaving a remainder of 127.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 578829.63
If we take 513 away from 640, we end up with 127.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 1270 by 171, we get 7 with a remainder of 73.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 578829.637
Subtracting 1197 from 1270 leaves us with 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 730, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
171 goes into 730 4 times with a remainder of 46.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 578829.6374
Deduct 684 from 730 and we're left with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
171 goes into 460 2 times with a remainder of 118.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 578829.63742
Subtracting 342 from 460 leaves us with 118.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
171 goes into 1180 6 times with a remainder of 154.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 578829.637426
Subtract 1026 from 1180 to get 154.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1540, and continue the process.

Step 15:
1540 divided by 171 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 578829.6374269
If we subtract 1539 from 1540, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 16:
When dividing 10 by 171, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 578829.6374269
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 578829.6374269 with a remaining 1e-08.
