Let's divide 487101 by 88
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 487101.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 48 and we're left with 48.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 48, then repeat: 487 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
487 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 47.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 440 from 487 to get 47.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 47, then repeat: 471 / 88

On to step 4:
If we divide 471 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 31.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 440 away from 471, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 310 / 88

Step 5:
310 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 46.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 553.0
Deduct 264 from 310 and we're left with 46.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 46 and continue: 461 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 461 5 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5535.0
If we subtract 440 from 461, we get 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5535.2
If we take 176 away from 210, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
340 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 5535.23
Subtracting 264 from 340 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
760 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5535.238
If we take 704 away from 760, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 88 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5535.2386
If we take 528 away from 560, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
320 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 56.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5535.23863
Subtract 264 from 320 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5535.238636
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 528 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
88 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5535.2386363
Subtract 264 from 320 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
560 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5535.23863636
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 5535.23863636 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
