988542 ÷ 88 
We want to divide 988542 by 88.

Going ahead to step 1:
88 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
88 can be fit into 98 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 88 from 98 and we're left with 10.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 108 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
108 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 20.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtracting 88 from 108 leaves us with 20.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 20 and repeat the process: 205 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
205 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 29.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 112.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 176 from 205.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 29 and continue with: 294 / 88

On to step 5:
If we divide 294 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1123.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 264 from 294.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 302 / 88

Step 6:
88 can be fit into 302 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 38.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11233.0
Subtracting 264 from 302 leaves us with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 380 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 11233.4
Subtract 352 from 380 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 280 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11233.43
Subtracting 264 from 280 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
88 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11233.431
If we take 88 away from 160, we end up with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 720 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 11233.4318
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11233.43181
If we subtract 88 from 160, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11233.431818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11233.4318181
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11233.43181818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11233.43181818, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
