Let's divide 229500 by 88
We want to divide 229500 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 22 / 88

On to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 22 and continue: 229 / 88

Step 3:
When dividing 229 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 53.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 176 from 229, we get 53.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 53, then carry on: 535 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 535 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 528 from 535 to get 7.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 70 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 70 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 260.0
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 0 from 70.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 70, then carry on: 700 / 88

Step 6:
88 can be fit into 700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2607.0
Subtract 616 from 700 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 88 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2607.9
If we subtract 792 from 840, we 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 8:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2607.95
Subtracting 440 from 480 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2607.954
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2607.9545
If we take 440 away from 480, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2607.95454
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2607.954545
If we subtract 440 from 480, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2607.9545454
If we subtract 352 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2607.95454545
If we subtract 440 from 480, we 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 2607.95454545 with a balance of 4e-08.
