Let's divide 510972 by 88
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 510972.

Advancing to step 1:
5 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 51 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 51.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 51 leaves us with 51.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 510 / 88

Step 3:
If we divide 510 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 70.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 440 from 510 to get 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 88

Step 4:
709 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 58.0
If we subtract 704 from 709, we get 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 57 0 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 580.0
Subtracting 0 from 57 leaves us with 57.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 572 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 572 6 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5806.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 528 from 572.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
440 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5806.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 440 from 440.
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 8:
The number 88 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5806.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5806.5
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 5806.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
