We look at the division of 140539 by 88 
We want to divide 140539 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 0 from 14.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 88

On to step 3:
88 can be fit into 140 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 88 away from 140, we end up with 52.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 52 and continue with: 525 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 525 5 times, leaving a remainder of 85.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15.0
Deduct 440 from 525 and we're left with 85.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 85, then carry on: 853 / 88

On to step 5:
When dividing 853 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 61.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 159.0
If we subtract 792 from 853, we get 61.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 61, then carry on: 619 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
619 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1597.0
Subtract 616 from 619 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
88 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1597.0
Subtract 0 from 30 to get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1597.03
Subtracting 264 from 300 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.

Step 9:
88 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1597.034
If we take 352 away from 360, 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.

Moving on to step 10:
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: 1597.034
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1597.03409
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1597.03409
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
88 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1597.0340909
Deduct 792 from 800 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 80 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1597.0340909
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Our division results in 1597.0340909 with a remaining 8e-08.
