Let's divide 502179 by 88
Our goal is to divide 502179 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
88 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
88 goes into 50 0 times with a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 50, we end up with 50.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 50, then carry on: 502 / 88

Step 3:
502 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 62.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 440 from 502 to get 62.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 62 and continue with: 621 / 88

On to step 4:
If we divide 621 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 57.0
If we subtract 616 from 621, we get 5.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 57 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 57 0 times, leaving a remainder of 57.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 570.0
Subtracting 0 from 57 leaves us with 57.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 57, then repeat: 579 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 579 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5706.0
The remainder is 51 after subtracting 528 from 579.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
88 can be fit into 510 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5706.5
If we subtract 440 from 510, we get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5706.57
Subtract 616 from 700 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
88 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5706.579
Deduct 792 from 840 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5706.5795
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.

Moving on to step 11:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5706.57954
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5706.579545
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.

Moving on to step 13:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5706.5795454
If we subtract 352 from 400, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5706.57954545
If we take 440 away from 480, we end up 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.

After the division, we end up with 5706.57954545 and a remainder of 4e-08.
