We're dividing 88459875 by 172 
We want to figure out the number of times 88459875 can be divided by 172.

Advancing to step 1:
172 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 172

Moving on to step 2:
172 goes into 88 0 times with a remainder of 88.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 88, we end up with 88.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 88 and continue with: 884 / 172

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 884 by 172, we get 5 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 860 from 884 to get 24.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 245 / 172

Advancing to step 4:
172 can be fit into 245 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 73.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51.0
The remainder is 73 after subtracting 172 from 245.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 73, then carry on: 739 / 172

Step 5:
172 can be fit into 739 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 514.0
Deduct 688 from 739 and we're left with 51.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 51, then repeat: 518 / 172

Advancing to step 6:
172 can be fit into 518 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5143.0
If we subtract 516 from 518, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 172

Step 7:
172 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51430.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 275 / 172

On to step 8:
172 goes into 275 1 times with a remainder of 103.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 514301.0
If we subtract 172 from 275, we get 103.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1030, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
172 can be fit into 1030 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 170.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 514301.5
If we subtract 860 from 1030, we get 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
172 can be fit into 1700 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 514301.59
Deduct 1548 from 1700 and we're left with 152.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
172 can be fit into 1520 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 144.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 514301.598
Deduct 1376 from 1520 and we're left with 144.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1440, and continue the process.

Step 12:
If we divide 1440 by 172, we get 8 and a remainder of 64.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 514301.5988
If we take 1376 away from 1440, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 514301.5988 with a balance of 0.00064.
