We're dividing 240982 by 88 
We want to divide 240982 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
88 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 88

Step 2:
When dividing 24 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 240 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 240 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 176 from 240 and we're left with 64.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 649 / 88

On to step 4:
88 can be fit into 649 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we subtract 616 from 649, we get 33.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 33, then repeat: 338 / 88

Step 5:
338 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 273.0
Subtract 264 from 338 to get 74.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 742 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 742 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 38.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2738.0
Subtract 704 from 742 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
380 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.4
If we take 352 away from 380, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 8:
280 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2738.43
Deduct 264 from 280 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
88 can be fit into 160 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2738.431
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2738.4318
Subtract 704 from 720 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2738.43181
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.431818
If we subtract 704 from 720, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2738.4318181
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 88 fits into 720 8 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2738.43181818
Subtract 704 from 720 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2738.43181818 with a remaining 1.6e-08.
