723987 divided by 98 
We want to figure out the number of times 723987 can be divided by 98.

Step 1:
98 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 98

Advancing to step 2:
98 goes into 72 0 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 72 to get 72.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 723 / 98

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 723 by 98, we get 7 with a remainder of 37.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we take 686 away from 723, we end up with 37.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 379 / 98

Step 4:
98 can be fit into 379 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 73.0
Subtracting 294 from 379 leaves us with 85.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 85, then repeat: 858 / 98

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 858 by 98, we get 8 and a remainder of 74.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 738.0
Subtracting 784 from 858 leaves us with 74.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 747 / 98

Advancing to step 6:
98 goes into 747 7 times with a remainder of 61.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7387.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 686 from 747.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 610 by 98, we get 6 and a remainder of 22.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7387.6
Subtracting 588 from 610 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
98 can be fit into 220 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7387.62
Deduct 196 from 220 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
98 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 44.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7387.622
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 196 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7387.622 with a remaining 0.0044.
