We're dividing 844542 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 844542.

Step 1:
88 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 88

Step 2:
The number 88 fits into 84 0 times, leaving a remainder of 84.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 0 from 84.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 84, then carry on: 844 / 88

On to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 844 9 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 792 from 844, we get 52.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 52 and repeat the process: 525 / 88

Step 4:
When dividing 525 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 85.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 95.0
If we subtract 440 from 525, we get 85.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 85, then repeat: 854 / 88

On to step 5:
When dividing 854 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 959.0
Subtracting 792 from 854 leaves us with 62.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 62, then repeat: 622 / 88

On to step 6:
If we divide 622 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9597.0
Subtracting 616 from 622 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
88 goes into 60 0 times with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 9597.0
If we subtract 0 from 60, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 600 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9597.06
If we take 528 away from 600, we end up 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 9:
If we divide 720 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 9597.068
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 10:
160 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9597.0681
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.

Moving on to step 11:
88 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 9597.06818
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.

Advancing to step 12:
88 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9597.068181
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.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9597.0681818
If we take 704 away from 720, we end up 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.

Step 14:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9597.06818181
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 9597.06818181 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
