Let's divide 88178284 by 3
We want to divide 88178284 by 3.

Step 1:
If we divide 8 by 3, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 6 from 8, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 3

On to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 3, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we subtract 27 from 28, we get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 3

Advancing to step 3:
The number 3 fits into 11 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 293.0
Deduct 9 from 11 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 3

On to step 4:
3 goes into 27 9 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2939.0
Subtracting 27 from 27 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 3

Let's proceed to step 5:
3 goes into 8 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29392.0
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 3

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 22 by 3, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 293927.0
Subtracting 21 from 22 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 3

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 18 by 3, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2939276.0
If we take 18 away from 18, we end up with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 3

Moving on to step 8:
The number 3 fits into 4 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29392761.0
Deduct 3 from 4 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 10 by 3, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29392761.3
Deduct 9 from 10 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 10 by 3, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29392761.33
Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 29392761.33, and the remainder is 0.001.
