Let's divide 6142 by 88
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 6142.

Step 1:
When dividing 6 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 6, we get 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 61 0 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 61 leaves us with 61.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 614 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
88 goes into 614 6 times with a remainder of 86.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 528 from 614.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 86, then carry on: 862 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 862 9 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 792 from 862.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 5:
When dividing 700 by 88, we get 7 with a remainder of 84.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69.7
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 616 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 840 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.79
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 792 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 7:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69.795
Subtract 440 from 480 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.7954
Deduct 352 from 400 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69.79545
Subtract 440 from 480 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69.795454
Subtract 352 from 400 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69.7954545
Subtract 440 from 480 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 69.79545454
Subtract 352 from 400 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 69.79545454, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
