280372 divided by 88 
We want to divide 280372 by 88.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
88 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 28 and continue with: 280 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 280 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 264 from 280 leaves us with 16.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 163 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
88 can be fit into 163 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 88 away from 163, we end up with 75.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 75 and continue with: 757 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
88 goes into 757 8 times with a remainder of 53.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we take 704 away from 757, we end up with 53.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 532 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 532 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3186.0
Subtract 528 from 532 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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 40 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3186.0
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.

On to step 8:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3186.04
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
88 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3186.045
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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3186.0454
Subtracting 352 from 400 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3186.04545
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: 3186.045454
Subtracting 352 from 400 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 13:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3186.0454545
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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3186.04545454
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 final result is 3186.04545454 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
