We divide 212486 by 88
Our goal is to divide 212486 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
88 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
88 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 21 and we're left with 21.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 212 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 212 2 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 212 to get 36.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 36 and continue with: 364 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
88 goes into 364 4 times with a remainder of 12.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 352 from 364.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
88 goes into 128 1 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 241.0
If we take 88 away from 128, we end up with 40.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 40 and continue: 406 / 88

Step 6:
The number 88 fits into 406 4 times, leaving a remainder of 54.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2414.0
The remainder is 54 after subtracting 352 from 406.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 540, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 540 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2414.6
If we subtract 528 from 540, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 120 1 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2414.61
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 88 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2414.613
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 264 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2414.6136
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
320 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 56.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2414.61363
If we take 264 away from 320, we end up with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2414.613636
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 13:
320 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 56.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2414.6136363
Subtracting 264 from 320 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
88 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2414.61363636
Subtract 528 from 560 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2414.61363636 with a remaining 3.2e-08.
