140641 ÷ 88 
We want to divide 140641 by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 14 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 140 / 88

Step 3:
140 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 88 away from 140, we end up with 52.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 52, then repeat: 526 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
526 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 86.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 440 from 526.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 86, then repeat: 864 / 88

On to step 5:
When dividing 864 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 159.0
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 792 from 864.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 72, then repeat: 721 / 88

Step 6:
When dividing 721 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1598.0
Deduct 704 from 721 and we're left with 17.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
170 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1598.1
Deduct 88 from 170 and we're left with 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 820 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1598.19
Subtracting 792 from 820 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
88 goes into 280 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1598.193
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 264 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1598.1931
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 88 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1598.19318
If we subtract 704 from 720, we get 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 12:
The number 88 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1598.193181
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1598.1931818
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.

On to step 14:
88 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1598.19318181
Subtract 88 from 160 to get 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 1598.19318181 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
