Let's divide 966697 by 88
We want to divide 966697 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 96 / 88

Step 2:
96 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 88 away from 96, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 86 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
88 can be fit into 86 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 86.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10.0
If we take 0 away from 86, we end up with 86.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 866 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 866 9 times, leaving a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtract 792 from 866 to get 74.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 74 and continue with: 749 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
88 goes into 749 8 times with a remainder of 45.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1098.0
Subtracting 704 from 749 leaves us with 45.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 45, then carry on: 457 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 457 5 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10985.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 440 from 457.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
170 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 82.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 10985.1
If we subtract 88 from 170, we get 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 820, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 820 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10985.19
Subtract 792 from 820 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10985.193
If we take 264 away from 280, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
88 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10985.1931
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 10985.19318
If we subtract 704 from 720, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 10985.193181
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 720 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10985.1931818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
If we divide 160 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10985.19318181
Subtract 88 from 160 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 10985.19318181 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
