We're dividing 422187 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 422187 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 42, we get 42.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 422 / 88

Step 3:
88 goes into 422 4 times with a remainder of 70.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 352 from 422 to get 70.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 701 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
88 can be fit into 701 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 85.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 47.0
Deduct 616 from 701 and we're left with 85.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 85 and continue: 858 / 88

On to step 5:
88 goes into 858 9 times with a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 479.0
Subtracting 792 from 858 leaves us with 66.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 66 and continue: 667 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
88 goes into 667 7 times with a remainder of 51.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 4797.0
Subtract 616 from 667 to get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
88 goes into 510 5 times with a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4797.5
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 440 from 510.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 700 7 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4797.57
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.

Step 9:
840 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4797.579
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4797.5795
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4797.57954
Subtracting 352 from 400 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4797.579545
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.

Moving on to step 13:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4797.5795454
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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4797.57954545
If we take 440 away from 480, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 4797.57954545 and a remainder of 4e-08.
