Let's divide 208439 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 208439 can be divided by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
88 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
88 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 20, then repeat: 208 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 208 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 176 from 208 and we're left with 32.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 32 and continue: 324 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
88 goes into 324 3 times with a remainder of 60.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 264 from 324, we get 60.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 60 and repeat the process: 603 / 88

Step 5:
When dividing 603 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 75.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we take 528 away from 603, we end up with 75.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 759 / 88

Step 6:
88 goes into 759 8 times with a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2368.0
Deduct 704 from 759 and we're left with 55.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 550, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
88 goes into 550 6 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2368.6
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 528 from 550.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 8:
220 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 44.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2368.62
Subtracting 176 from 220 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Step 9:
440 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2368.625
Deduct 440 from 440 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2368.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2368.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 2368.625 with a balance of 0.0.
