We look at the division of 997879 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 997879.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 88

Step 2:
88 goes into 99 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 88 from 99.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 88

Step 3:
The number 88 fits into 117 1 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 88 from 117 leaves us with 29.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 298 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 298 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we take 264 away from 298, we end up with 34.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 34 and continue: 347 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 347 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 83.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1133.0
If we subtract 264 from 347, we get 83.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 83 and repeat the process: 839 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 839 9 times, leaving a remainder of 47.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11339.0
Subtracting 792 from 839 leaves us with 47.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 470, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 470 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11339.5
Deduct 440 from 470 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
88 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11339.53
Subtracting 264 from 300 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 360 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11339.534
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 352 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11339.534
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 11:
88 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11339.53409
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.

Going ahead 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: 11339.53409
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 11339.5340909
If we take 792 away from 800, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 14:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11339.5340909
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 11339.5340909 with a remainder of 8e-08.
