We're dividing 40429 by 88 
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 40429.

On to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 40 / 88

Step 2:
The number 88 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 404 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 404 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 352 away from 404, we end up with 52.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 522 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 522 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 82.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 440 from 522 to get 82.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 82 and repeat the process: 829 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 829 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 37.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 459.0
Deduct 792 from 829 and we're left with 37.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 370 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 459.4
Subtracting 352 from 370 leaves us with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
180 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 459.42
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 176 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
88 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 459.42
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 459.4204
Subtract 352 from 400 to 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 10:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 459.42045
Subtract 440 from 480 to 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.

Step 11:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 459.420454
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.

Moving on to step 12:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 459.4204545
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.

Step 13:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 459.42045454
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.

Our division results in 459.42045454 with a remaining 4.8e-08.
