Let's divide 52989 by 88
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 52989.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 52 / 88

Step 2:
The number 88 fits into 52 0 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 0 from 52.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 529 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 529 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 528 away from 529, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
88 can be fit into 189 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 602.0
Subtracting 176 from 189 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 130 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 42.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 602.1
If we take 88 away from 130, we end up with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
88 can be fit into 420 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 602.14
Subtracting 352 from 420 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 602.147
If we subtract 616 from 680, we get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Step 9:
640 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 602.1477
If we take 616 away from 640, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 602.1477, and the remainder is 0.00024.
