We're dividing 161762 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 161762 by 88.

On to step 1:
88 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 161 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 73.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 88 from 161 and we're left with 73.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 73, then repeat: 737 / 88

Step 4:
88 can be fit into 737 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Subtract 704 from 737 to get 33.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 336 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 336 3 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 183.0
If we subtract 264 from 336, we get 72.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 72 and repeat the process: 722 / 88

Step 6:
88 goes into 722 8 times with a remainder of 18.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1838.0
If we subtract 704 from 722, we 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:
180 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1838.2
Subtracting 176 from 180 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 1838.2
If we take 0 away from 40, 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.

On to step 9:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1838.204
Deduct 352 from 400 and we're left 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 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: 1838.2045
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1838.20454
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1838.204545
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1838.2045454
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 14:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1838.20454545
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.

Our division results in 1838.20454545 with a remaining 4e-08.
