We're dividing 226420 by 88 
We want to divide 226420 by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 88

Step 2:
The number 88 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 0 from 22.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 226 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 226 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 176 from 226 leaves us with 50.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 50 and continue: 504 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
504 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 64.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 440 from 504 leaves us with 64.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 642 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
88 can be fit into 642 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 257.0
Subtract 616 from 642 to get 26.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 260 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 260 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2572.0
Deduct 176 from 260 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 840 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2572.9
Deduct 792 from 840 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2572.95
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.

Step 9:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2572.954
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 10:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2572.9545
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 440 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2572.95454
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2572.954545
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2572.9545454
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2572.95454545
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.

The final result is 2572.95454545 with a remainder of 4e-08.
