688991 divided by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 688991.

Step 1:
88 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
88 goes into 68 0 times with a remainder of 68.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 68 to get 68.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 68, then repeat: 688 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 goes into 688 7 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7.0
Subtracting 616 from 688 leaves us with 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 729 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 78.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 704 from 729.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 25, then repeat: 259 / 88

On to step 5:
When dividing 259 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 83.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 782.0
Deduct 176 from 259 and we're left with 83.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 83, then repeat: 831 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
831 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 39.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7829.0
Subtracting 792 from 831 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
390 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7829.4
Subtracting 352 from 390 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 380 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7829.44
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 352 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 7829.44 with a balance of 0.028.
