We're dividing 638589 by 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 638589 can be divided by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 6 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 63 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 63 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 63.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 63, we end up with 63.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 63, then repeat: 638 / 88

On to step 3:
88 goes into 638 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 616 from 638.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 22, then carry on: 225 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
225 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 49.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtract 176 from 225 to get 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 49, then repeat: 498 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 498 5 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 725.0
If we take 440 away from 498, we end up with 58.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 58 and continue with: 589 / 88

On to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 589 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.0
The remainder is 61 after subtracting 528 from 589.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 610, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 610 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 82.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7256.6
If we subtract 528 from 610, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 820 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 7256.69
Deduct 792 from 820 and we're left with 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:
88 can be fit into 280 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.693
Subtract 264 from 280 to 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 7256.6931
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 88 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.69318
Subtract 704 from 720 to 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.693181
If we subtract 88 from 160, we 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.

Step 13:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7256.6931818
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.

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: 7256.69318181
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 88 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 7256.69318181 with a remainder of 7.2e-08.
