Let's divide 12547 by 88
We want to divide 12547 by 88.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 12 0 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 12 to get 12.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 125 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 can be fit into 125 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 37.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 88 from 125 to get 37.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 374 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 374 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 14.0
Deduct 352 from 374 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 227 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
227 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 51.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.0
If we subtract 176 from 227, we get 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 510 5 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.5
If we take 440 away from 510, we end up with 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 7:
If we divide 700 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.57
If we subtract 616 from 700, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
840 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 142.579
If we take 792 away from 840, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 142.5795
If we subtract 440 from 480, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 142.57954
Deduct 352 from 400 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 11:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 142.579545
If we subtract 440 from 480, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 142.5795454
Deduct 352 from 400 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.

Moving on to step 13:
88 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 142.57954545
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.

The final outcome is 142.57954545, with a leftover of 4e-08.
