978862 ÷ 88 
We want to divide 978862 by 88.

Step 1:
9 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 88 from 97.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 98 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 88 from 98 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 108 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
108 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 111.0
Subtracting 88 from 108 leaves us with 20.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 206 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
206 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1112.0
Deduct 176 from 206 and we're left with 30.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 302 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 302 3 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11123.0
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 264 from 302.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 380 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 28.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11123.4
If we take 352 away from 380, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 280 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11123.43
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.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 11123.431
If we subtract 88 from 160, we 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.

On to step 10:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11123.4318
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 11:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11123.43181
If we take 88 away from 160, 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 12:
88 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11123.431818
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 13:
If we divide 160 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11123.4318181
If we take 88 away from 160, 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 14:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11123.43181818
Subtract 704 from 720 to 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11123.43181818 with a balance of 1.6e-08.
