We look at the division of 88727172 by 509 
We want to figure out the number of times 88727172 can be divided by 509.

Moving on to step 1:
8 divided by 509 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 509

Advancing to step 2:
509 goes into 88 0 times with a remainder of 88.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 88, we end up with 88.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 88 and continue: 887 / 509

On to step 3:
If we divide 887 by 509, we get 1 and a remainder of 378.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 378 after subtracting 509 from 887.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 378, then repeat: 3782 / 509

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 509 fits into 3782 7 times, leaving a remainder of 219.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 3563 from 3782 and we're left with 219.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 219, then carry on: 2197 / 509

Advancing to step 5:
509 can be fit into 2197 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 161.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Deduct 2036 from 2197 and we're left with 161.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 161, then carry on: 1611 / 509

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 1611 by 509, we get 3 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 1743.0
If we take 1527 away from 1611, we end up with 84.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 847 / 509

Let's proceed to step 7:
509 goes into 847 1 times with a remainder of 338.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17431.0
The remainder is 338 after subtracting 509 from 847.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 338 and repeat the process: 3382 / 509

Advancing to step 8:
The number 509 fits into 3382 6 times, leaving a remainder of 328.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 174316.0
The remainder is 328 after subtracting 3054 from 3382.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 509 fits into 3280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 226.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 174316.6
If we take 3054 away from 3280, we end up with 226.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2260, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
509 can be fit into 2260 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 224.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174316.64
If we take 2036 away from 2260, we end up with 224.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 2240 by 509, we get 4 and a remainder of 204.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 174316.644
Subtract 2036 from 2240 to get 204.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2040, and continue the process.

Our division results in 174316.644 with a remaining 0.0204.
