Let's divide 167438 by 88
We want to divide 167438 by 88.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 88

Step 2:
If we divide 16 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 16.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 0 from 16.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 167 / 88

Step 3:
167 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 79.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 88 away from 167, we end up with 79.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 794 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
88 goes into 794 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 792 from 794 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 23 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 190.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 238 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1902.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 176 from 238.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 620 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1902.7
Subtract 616 from 620 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1902.7
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1902.704
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
88 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1902.7045
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 440 from 480.
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 11:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1902.70454
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.

Step 12:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1902.704545
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.

Advancing to step 13:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1902.7045454
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 14:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1902.70454545
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 1902.70454545 with a remainder of 4e-08.
