We're dividing 197542 by 88 
We want to divide 197542 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 88

Step 2:
The number 88 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 197 / 88

Step 3:
88 goes into 197 2 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 176 away from 197, we end up with 21.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 21 and repeat the process: 215 / 88

Step 4:
215 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 39.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 176 from 215 to get 39.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 39 and continue with: 394 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
394 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we subtract 352 from 394, we get 42.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 422 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 422 4 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2244.0
Subtracting 352 from 422 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 700 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2244.7
Subtracting 616 from 700 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 840 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2244.79
Subtracting 792 from 840 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2244.795
If we take 440 away from 480, we end up 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 10:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2244.7954
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.

On to step 11:
88 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2244.79545
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
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: 2244.795454
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.

On to step 13:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2244.7954545
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.

Moving on to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2244.79545454
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.

The quotient of the division is 2244.79545454, and the remainder is 4.8e-08.
