We look at the division of 888871 by 5 
We want to figure out the number of times 888871 can be divided by 5.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 5 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 5 away from 8, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
38 divided by 5 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we take 35 away from 38, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 5

Going ahead to step 3:
5 goes into 38 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 177.0
If we take 35 away from 38, we end up with 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 5

On to step 4:
5 can be fit into 38 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1777.0
Subtract 35 from 38 to get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 5

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 5 fits into 37 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17777.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 35 from 37.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 5

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 21 by 5, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 177774.0
Deduct 20 from 21 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 5 fits into 10 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 177774.2
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 5 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177774.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 177774.2
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 177774.2 with a remaining 0.0.
