Let's divide 287877 by 88
Our goal is to divide 287877 by 88.

On to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 287 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 287 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 264 from 287.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
238 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 62.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 176 from 238.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 62 and continue: 627 / 88

On to step 5:
If we divide 627 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 11.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we subtract 616 from 627, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 88

On to step 6:
117 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 29.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3271.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 88 from 117.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
88 can be fit into 290 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 26.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3271.3
Subtract 264 from 290 to get 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
88 goes into 260 2 times with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3271.32
If we take 176 away from 260, we end up 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 840 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3271.329
If we take 792 away from 840, 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.

On to step 10:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3271.3295
Subtract 440 from 480 to 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.

Advancing to step 11:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3271.32954
Subtracting 352 from 400 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3271.329545
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.

Step 13:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3271.3295454
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3271.32954545
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.

The final result is 3271.32954545 with a remainder of 4e-08.
