53172 divided by 88 
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 53172.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 88

Step 2:
If we divide 53 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 53, we end up with 53.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 531 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
531 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 528 away from 531, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 37 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 60.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 0 from 37.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 37, then repeat: 372 / 88

Step 5:
88 can be fit into 372 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 604.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 352 from 372.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 200 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 604.2
If we subtract 176 from 200, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
240 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 604.22
Subtract 176 from 240 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 604.22 with a balance of 0.064.
