We want to divide 444987 by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
44 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 44 to get 44.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 444 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 444 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 440 from 444.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 49.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 50.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 0 from 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 88

On to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 498 5 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 505.0
Deduct 440 from 498 and we're left with 58.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 58 and continue: 587 / 88

Step 6:
When dividing 587 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5056.0
If we subtract 528 from 587, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
88 can be fit into 590 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 62.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5056.6
Subtracting 528 from 590 leaves us with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 620 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5056.67
If we take 616 away from 620, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5056.67
If we subtract 0 from 40, we 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:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5056.6704
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5056.67045
Deduct 440 from 480 and we're left with 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 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: 5056.670454
If we take 352 away from 400, we end up 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 13:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5056.6704545
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.

Advancing to step 14:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5056.67045454
Subtracting 352 from 400 leaves us 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.
