We're dividing 88970 by 98 
We want to divide 88970 by 98.

Step 1:
98 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 98

Step 2:
98 goes into 88 0 times with a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 0 from 88.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 88 and repeat the process: 889 / 98

On to step 3:
98 goes into 889 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 882 from 889.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 77 / 98

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 98 fits into 77 0 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
Deduct 0 from 77 and we're left with 77.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 77 and continue with: 770 / 98

On to step 5:
The number 98 fits into 770 7 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 907.0
Deduct 686 from 770 and we're left 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 6:
The number 98 fits into 840 8 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 907.8
Deduct 784 from 840 and we're left with 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 7:
If we divide 560 by 98, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 907.85
If we take 490 away from 560, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 98, we get 7 and a remainder of 14.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 907.857
If we take 686 away from 700, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
98 goes into 140 1 times with a remainder of 42.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 907.8571
Subtract 98 from 140 to get 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 10:
When dividing 420 by 98, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 907.85714
Subtract 392 from 420 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
98 can be fit into 280 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 907.857142
Subtract 196 from 280 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
98 goes into 840 8 times with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 907.8571428
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 784 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 98 fits into 560 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 907.85714285
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.

The final result is 907.85714285 with a remainder of 7e-08.
