Let's divide 461604 by 88
Our goal is to divide 461604 by 88.

Step 1:
The number 88 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 46 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 46 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 46.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 46 and we're left with 46.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 461 / 88

Step 3:
88 can be fit into 461 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtracting 440 from 461 leaves us with 21.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 216 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 216 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 52.0
Deduct 176 from 216 and we're left with 40.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 400 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 524.0
If we subtract 352 from 400, we get 48.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 484 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 484 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5245.0
Deduct 440 from 484 and we're left with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 440 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5245.5
If we take 440 away from 440, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
88 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5245.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
88 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5245.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5245.5 with a balance of 0.0.
