We divide 3977 by 88
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 3977.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 88

Step 2:
88 can be fit into 39 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 39.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 39 to get 39.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 397 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
88 can be fit into 397 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 45.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 352 from 397 leaves us with 45.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 45, then repeat: 457 / 88

On to step 4:
457 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 17.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 440 from 457 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 5:
170 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.1
The remainder is 82 after subtracting 88 from 170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 820 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 28.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.19
Subtract 792 from 820 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
88 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.193
Subtracting 264 from 280 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 45.1931
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45.19318
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45.193181
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.

On to step 11:
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: 45.1931818
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.

Step 12:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.19318181
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.

After the division, we end up with 45.19318181 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
