We're dividing 212697 by 88 
We want to divide 212697 by 88.

Going ahead 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
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
88 can be fit into 21 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 21, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 212 / 88

On to step 3:
212 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 36.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 176 from 212 and we're left with 36.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 366 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 366 4 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 24.0
Subtracting 352 from 366 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 149 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
88 goes into 149 1 times with a remainder of 61.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 241.0
Subtracting 88 from 149 leaves us with 61.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 61, then repeat: 617 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 617 7 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2417.0
Subtract 616 from 617 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2417.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
100 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2417.01
If we take 88 away from 100, 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.

On to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2417.011
Subtracting 88 from 120 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.

The quotient of the division is 2417.011, and the remainder is 0.0032.
