We're dividing 422984 by 88 
We want to divide 422984 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 42 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 42 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 42.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 422 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 422 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 70.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 352 from 422.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 709 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
88 goes into 709 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we take 704 away from 709, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 88

On to step 5:
88 goes into 58 0 times with a remainder of 58.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 480.0
If we subtract 0 from 58, we get 58.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 584 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 584 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 56.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4806.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 528 from 584.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
88 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4806.6
If we take 528 away from 560, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4806.63
Subtracting 264 from 320 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4806.636
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
320 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4806.6363
Deduct 264 from 320 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4806.63636
If we subtract 528 from 560, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 320 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 56.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4806.636363
If we subtract 264 from 320, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4806.6363636
Subtracting 528 from 560 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 88 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4806.63636363
Subtract 264 from 320 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final result is 4806.63636363 with a remainder of 5.6e-08.
