We divide 497974 by 88
We want to divide 497974 by 88.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 497 / 88

On to step 3:
If we divide 497 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 57.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 440 from 497 leaves us with 57.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 57, then carry on: 579 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
579 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56.0
If we subtract 528 from 579, we get 51.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 51 and repeat the process: 517 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
88 goes into 517 5 times with a remainder of 77.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we take 440 away from 517, we end up with 77.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 774 / 88

Step 6:
When dividing 774 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5658.0
Deduct 704 from 774 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
88 can be fit into 700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.7
If we subtract 616 from 700, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
88 goes into 840 9 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.79
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 792 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5658.795
Subtracting 440 from 480 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5658.7954
If we subtract 352 from 400, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.79545
If we subtract 440 from 480, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5658.795454
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5658.7954545
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 440 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5658.79545454
If we subtract 352 from 400, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 5658.79545454, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
