490586 ÷ 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 490586 can be divided by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 88

On to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 49 0 times, leaving a remainder of 49.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 49 leaves us with 49.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 49, then repeat: 490 / 88

On to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 490 5 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 440 from 490 to get 50.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 505 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
88 goes into 505 5 times with a remainder of 65.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 55.0
If we take 440 away from 505, we end up with 65.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 65, then carry on: 658 / 88

On to step 5:
658 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 557.0
Subtracting 616 from 658 leaves us with 42.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 426 / 88

Step 6:
88 can be fit into 426 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5574.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 352 from 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
740 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5574.8
Subtracting 704 from 740 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 360 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5574.84
Subtract 352 from 360 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5574.84
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
88 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5574.8409
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
88 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5574.8409
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 12:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5574.840909
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.

Moving on to step 13:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5574.840909
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 14:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5574.84090909
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.

The final outcome is 5574.84090909, with a leftover of 8e-09.
