972556 divided by 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 972556 can be divided by 88.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 88 from 97 and we're left with 9.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 92 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 goes into 92 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 88 from 92 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 45 0 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 110.0
Subtracting 0 from 45 leaves us with 45.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 455 / 88

Step 5:
If we divide 455 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1105.0
Subtracting 440 from 455 leaves us with 15.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 156 / 88

Step 6:
When dividing 156 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 68.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11051.0
Subtracting 88 from 156 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
88 can be fit into 680 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11051.7
Deduct 616 from 680 and we're left with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
88 can be fit into 640 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11051.77
If we subtract 616 from 640, 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.

The final outcome is 11051.77, with a leftover of 0.024.
