We look at the division of 398568 by 89 
Our goal is to divide 398568 by 89.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 3 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 89

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 39 by 89, we get 0 with a remainder of 39.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 398 / 89

Going ahead to step 3:
89 goes into 398 4 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 356 away from 398, we end up with 42.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 425 / 89

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 425 by 89, we get 4 with a remainder of 69.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44.0
The remainder is 69 after subtracting 356 from 425.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 69, then repeat: 696 / 89

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 89 fits into 696 7 times, leaving a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 447.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 623 from 696.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 73 and continue with: 738 / 89

Moving on to step 6:
89 can be fit into 738 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4478.0
If we subtract 712 from 738, we get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 260 by 89, we get 2 with a remainder of 82.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4478.2
Deduct 178 from 260 and we're left with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 89 fits into 820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4478.29
Subtract 801 from 820 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
190 divided by 89 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4478.292
If we take 178 away from 190, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 120 by 89, we get 1 and a remainder of 31.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4478.2921
Subtracting 89 from 120 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
89 can be fit into 310 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4478.29213
Subtract 267 from 310 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
89 can be fit into 430 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4478.292134
Deduct 356 from 430 and we're left with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 13:
89 can be fit into 740 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4478.2921348
Subtracting 712 from 740 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
If we divide 280 by 89, we get 3 and a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4478.29213483
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 267 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4478.29213483 and a remainder of 1.3e-08.
