549979 divided by 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 549979 can be divided by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 88

Step 2:
88 goes into 54 0 times with a remainder of 54.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 54 leaves us with 54.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 54, then repeat: 549 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
549 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 21.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 528 from 549.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 219 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
88 can be fit into 219 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we take 176 away from 219, we end up with 43.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 43, then repeat: 437 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 437 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 85.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 624.0
Subtract 352 from 437 to get 85.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 859 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
88 can be fit into 859 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6249.0
Subtracting 792 from 859 leaves us with 67.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 670, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
88 goes into 670 7 times with a remainder of 54.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6249.7
Subtract 616 from 670 to get 54.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 88 fits into 540 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6249.76
Deduct 528 from 540 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
88 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 6249.761
If we take 88 away from 120, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 88 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6249.7613
If we take 264 away from 320, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6249.76136
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
88 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6249.761363
Deduct 264 from 320 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
88 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6249.7613636
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 320 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 6249.76136363
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 264 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Our division results in 6249.76136363 with a remaining 5.6e-08.
