We look at the division of 259988 by 5 
We want to figure out the number of times 259988 can be divided by 5.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 5, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 5

Going ahead to step 2:
25 divided by 5 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 25 from 25 to get 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 5

On to step 3:
5 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 5 from 9 to get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 5

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 5, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 519.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 45 from 49.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 5

Let's proceed to step 5:
48 divided by 5 is 9 with a remainder of 3.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5199.0
Deduct 45 from 48 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 5

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 5, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51997.0
If we take 35 away from 38, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 0.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51997.6
If we take 30 away from 30, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
5 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 51997.6
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 5, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51997.6
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 51997.6 with a remaining 0.0.
