We're dividing 547242 by 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 547242 can be divided by 88.

On to step 1:
88 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
54 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 54, we end up with 54.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 54 and continue: 547 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 547 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 528 from 547 leaves us with 19.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 19, then repeat: 192 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
192 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 62.0
Subtract 176 from 192 to get 16.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 164 / 88

On to step 5:
88 can be fit into 164 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 76.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 621.0
Deduct 88 from 164 and we're left with 76.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 76, then carry on: 762 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
762 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 58.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6218.0
Deduct 704 from 762 and we're left with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
88 can be fit into 580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6218.6
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 528 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 520 5 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6218.65
If we subtract 440 from 520, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Step 9:
88 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6218.659
Subtract 792 from 800 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
88 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6218.659
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
88 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 6218.65909
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
88 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6218.65909
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
88 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6218.6590909
If we subtract 792 from 800, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
88 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6218.6590909
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

The final result is 6218.6590909 with a remainder of 8e-08.
