We're dividing 502639 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 502639 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 50 / 88

On to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 502 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
88 can be fit into 502 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 440 from 502 and we're left with 62.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 62, then carry on: 626 / 88

On to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 626 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 57.0
Subtracting 616 from 626 leaves us with 10.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 103 / 88

On to step 5:
If we divide 103 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 571.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 88 from 103.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 159 / 88

Step 6:
If we divide 159 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 71.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5711.0
If we subtract 88 from 159, we get 71.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
710 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5711.8
If we take 704 away from 710, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 60.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5711.8
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 600 6 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5711.806
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 528 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5711.8068
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5711.80681
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
720 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5711.806818
Deduct 704 from 720 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5711.8068181
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5711.80681818
Subtracting 704 from 720 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5711.80681818 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
