We divide 485854 by 88
We want to divide 485854 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
88 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 88

Step 2:
88 goes into 48 0 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 0 from 48.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 485 / 88

On to step 3:
When dividing 485 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 45.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 440 away from 485, we end up with 45.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 458 / 88

Step 4:
The number 88 fits into 458 5 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 55.0
Deduct 440 from 458 and we're left with 18.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 18, then repeat: 185 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
88 goes into 185 2 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 552.0
Deduct 176 from 185 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 94 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 94 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5521.0
Subtract 88 from 94 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 88 fits into 60 0 times, leaving a remainder of 60.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5521.0
Subtracting 0 from 60 leaves us with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 600 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5521.06
Subtracting 528 from 600 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5521.068
If we subtract 704 from 720, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 160 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5521.0681
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.

Advancing to step 11:
720 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5521.06818
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 12:
160 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 5521.068181
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 13:
If we divide 720 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5521.0681818
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 14:
The number 88 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5521.06818181
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 5521.06818181 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
