260857 ÷ 88 
We want to divide 260857 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
88 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 260 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
260 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 260 to get 84.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 84, then repeat: 848 / 88

Step 4:
88 can be fit into 848 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 792 away from 848, we end up with 56.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 56, then carry on: 565 / 88

On to step 5:
88 goes into 565 6 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 296.0
If we subtract 528 from 565, we get 37.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 37 and continue with: 377 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
88 can be fit into 377 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2964.0
Subtract 352 from 377 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
250 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 74.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2964.2
If we take 176 away from 250, we end up with 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 740 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2964.28
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 704 from 740.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 360 4 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2964.284
If we take 352 away from 360, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 88 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2964.284
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2964.28409
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 792 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2964.28409
If we subtract 0 from 80, we get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2964.2840909
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 792 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2964.2840909
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2964.2840909 with a balance of 8e-08.
