We're dividing 255746 by 88 
We want to divide 255746 by 88.

On to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 88

On to step 2:
25 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 25 and we're left with 25.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 255 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 255 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 79.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 255 to get 79.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 79, then carry on: 797 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
88 can be fit into 797 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Subtracting 792 from 797 leaves us with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
54 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 290.0
Subtract 0 from 54 to get 54.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 546 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
88 can be fit into 546 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2906.0
Subtract 528 from 546 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 180 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.2
If we subtract 176 from 180, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
88 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.2
Deduct 0 from 40 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 9:
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: 2906.204
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.

Advancing to step 10:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.2045
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.

Step 11:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2906.20454
Subtract 352 from 400 to 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 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2906.204545
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.

Advancing to step 13:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2906.2045454
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.

Advancing to step 14:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2906.20454545
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2906.20454545 with a balance of 4e-08.
