Let's divide 397972 by 88
Our goal is to divide 397972 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
3 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 39 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 39 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 39.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 39 leaves us with 39.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 397 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
88 can be fit into 397 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 352 away from 397, we end up with 45.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 459 / 88

Step 4:
459 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 440 from 459, we get 19.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 197 / 88

On to step 5:
197 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 452.0
Subtract 176 from 197 to get 21.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 212 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
88 can be fit into 212 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4522.0
Subtracting 176 from 212 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 88 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4522.4
Deduct 352 from 360 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
88 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4522.4
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4522.409
If we subtract 792 from 800, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4522.409
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4522.40909
If we take 792 away from 800, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4522.40909
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4522.4090909
Subtract 792 from 800 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4522.4090909
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4522.4090909, and the remainder is 8e-08.
