We're dividing 178790 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 178790 by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 88

On to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 178 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 178 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 176 away from 178, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
88 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 88

Step 5:
If we divide 279 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we subtract 264 from 279, we get 15.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 150 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
150 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 62.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2031.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 88 from 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 620 by 88, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2031.7
Subtracting 616 from 620 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
88 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2031.7
Subtracting 0 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2031.704
Deduct 352 from 400 and we're left 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:
The number 88 fits into 480 5 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2031.7045
Deduct 440 from 480 and we're left 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.

On to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2031.70454
Subtract 352 from 400 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
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: 2031.704545
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.

On to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2031.7045454
If we subtract 352 from 400, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2031.70454545
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 2031.70454545 with a remainder of 4e-08.
