We look at the division of 234972 by 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 234972 can be divided by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
88 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 88

On to step 2:
When dividing 23 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 23, then repeat: 234 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
88 can be fit into 234 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 176 from 234 and we're left with 58.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 58, then repeat: 589 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 589 6 times, leaving a remainder of 61.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtracting 528 from 589 leaves us with 61.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 61, then repeat: 617 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 617 by 88, we get 7 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 267.0
Deduct 616 from 617 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
88 goes into 12 0 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2670.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
88 can be fit into 120 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2670.1
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 88 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 320 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2670.13
If we take 264 away from 320, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 560 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2670.136
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 528 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 10:
88 can be fit into 320 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2670.1363
If we take 264 away from 320, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
560 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2670.13636
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 528 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 88 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 2670.136363
Subtracting 264 from 320 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2670.1363636
Subtracting 528 from 560 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
88 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 56.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2670.13636363
Subtract 264 from 320 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2670.13636363 with a balance of 5.6e-08.
