We divide 288246 by 88
We want to divide 288246 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 288 3 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 264 from 288.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 242 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
242 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
Subtracting 176 from 242 leaves us with 66.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 664 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 664 by 88, we get 7 with a remainder of 48.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we take 616 away from 664, we end up with 48.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 48, then repeat: 486 / 88

Step 6:
88 can be fit into 486 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3275.0
If we take 440 away from 486, we end up with 46.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 460, and continue the process.

Step 7:
460 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3275.5
Subtracting 440 from 460 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
200 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3275.52
Deduct 176 from 200 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
88 goes into 240 2 times with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3275.522
If we take 176 away from 240, we end up with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3275.522 with a balance of 0.0064.
