287838 ÷ 88 
Our goal is to divide 287838 by 88.

On to step 1:
88 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 goes into 287 3 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 264 from 287 to get 23.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 238 / 88

On to step 4:
88 goes into 238 2 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we subtract 176 from 238, we get 62.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 62 and repeat the process: 623 / 88

Step 5:
If we divide 623 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 327.0
If we subtract 616 from 623, we get 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 78 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 78.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3270.0
If we take 0 away from 78, we end up with 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 780 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 76.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3270.8
Subtract 704 from 780 to get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 760 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 56.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3270.88
If we subtract 704 from 760, we get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3270.88, with a leftover of 0.056.
