Let's divide 5588 by 24
We want to figure out the number of times 5588 can be divided by 24.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 24 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 24

On to step 2:
When dividing 55 by 24, we get 2 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 48 from 55 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 24

Step 3:
78 divided by 24 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 72 from 78 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 24

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 24, we get 2 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 48 from 68 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 200 by 24, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 232.8
Subtract 192 from 200 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 232.83
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 24 fits into 80 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 232.833
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 232.833 with a balance of 0.0008.
