We divide 277 by 88
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 277.

Moving on to step 1:
88 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
88 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 277 / 88

Step 3:
88 can be fit into 277 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 264 from 277.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 130 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3.1
Subtract 88 from 130 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 420 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 68.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.14
Subtracting 352 from 420 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 6:
If we divide 680 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3.147
Subtracting 616 from 680 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 640 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3.1477
Subtract 616 from 640 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3.1477 with a balance of 0.00024.
