We look at the division of 398481 by 62 
We want to figure out the number of times 398481 can be divided by 62.

On to step 1:
62 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 62

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 39 by 62, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 39, we get 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 62

Going ahead to step 3:
398 divided by 62 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 372 from 398 and we're left with 26.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 264 / 62

Step 4:
When dividing 264 by 62, we get 4 with a remainder of 16.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 64.0
If we subtract 248 from 264, we get 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 62

Let's proceed to step 5:
62 goes into 168 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 642.0
Subtract 124 from 168 to get 44.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 44, then repeat: 441 / 62

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 62 fits into 441 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6427.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 434 from 441.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 62 fits into 70 1 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6427.1
Deduct 62 from 70 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
80 divided by 62 is 1 with a remainder of 18.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6427.11
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6427.11, and the remainder is 0.018.
