We divide 48231 by 88
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 48231.

Let's proceed to step 1:
88 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
88 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 482 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 482 5 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 440 from 482.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 423 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 423 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 54.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 352 from 423.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 71 and repeat the process: 711 / 88

Step 5:
88 can be fit into 711 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
If we subtract 704 from 711, we get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
88 goes into 70 0 times with a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 548.0
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us 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.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 548.07
Subtract 616 from 700 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
840 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 548.079
Subtract 792 from 840 to 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 548.0795
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.

On to step 10:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 548.07954
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.

Advancing to step 11:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 548.079545
Deduct 440 from 480 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 548.0795454
Deduct 352 from 400 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 548.07954545
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.

The quotient of the division is 548.07954545, and the remainder is 4e-08.
