We divide 71958 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 71958 can be divided by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
88 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 71 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 71.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 71, we get 71.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 719 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 can be fit into 719 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 704 away from 719, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 155 / 88

On to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 155 1 times, leaving a remainder of 67.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtracting 88 from 155 leaves us with 67.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 67 and continue with: 678 / 88

On to step 5:
When dividing 678 by 88, we get 7 with a remainder of 62.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 817.0
Deduct 616 from 678 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
620 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 817.7
Deduct 616 from 620 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
40 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 817.7
Subtract 0 from 40 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 817.704
If we take 352 away from 400, 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.

Step 9:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 817.7045
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.

Going ahead 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: 817.70454
If we take 352 away from 400, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 817.704545
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.

On to step 12:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 817.7045454
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
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 13:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 817.70454545
Subtracting 440 from 480 leaves us 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 result is 817.70454545 with a remainder of 4e-08.
