We look at the division of 68971 by 98 
We want to figure out the number of times 68971 can be divided by 98.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 98, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
The number 98 fits into 68 0 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 68, we end up with 68.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 68, then repeat: 689 / 98

Advancing to step 3:
98 goes into 689 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 686 away from 689, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 98

Moving on to step 4:
37 divided by 98 is 0 with a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 70.0
Deduct 0 from 37 and we're left with 37.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 371 / 98

Step 5:
98 goes into 371 3 times with a remainder of 77.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 703.0
The remainder is 77 after subtracting 294 from 371.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 98 fits into 770 7 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 703.7
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 686 from 770.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 98 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 703.78
If we subtract 784 from 840, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 8:
560 divided by 98 is 5 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 703.785
Subtracting 490 from 560 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
98 goes into 700 7 times with a remainder of 14.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 703.7857
Subtracting 686 from 700 leaves us with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 703.78571
Deduct 98 from 140 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
98 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 28.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 703.785714
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 392 from 420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 98 fits into 280 2 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 703.7857142
If we take 196 away from 280, 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 98 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 703.78571428
Subtract 784 from 840 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 703.78571428 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
