We're dividing 229509 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 229509 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 22 0 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 22 and continue with: 229 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 229 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 53.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 176 from 229 and we're left with 53.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 53 and continue: 535 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 535 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 528 from 535, we get 7.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 70 / 88

On to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 260.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 70, then repeat: 709 / 88

On to step 6:
709 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2608.0
If we take 704 away from 709, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 88 fits into 50 0 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2608.0
If we subtract 0 from 50, we get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Step 8:
88 can be fit into 500 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.05
The remainder is 60 after subtracting 440 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
88 can be fit into 600 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2608.056
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 528 from 600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 720 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2608.0568
Deduct 704 from 720 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2608.05681
The remainder is 72 after subtracting 88 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
88 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.056818
If we take 704 away from 720, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
160 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2608.0568181
Subtracting 88 from 160 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
720 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2608.05681818
Subtract 704 from 720 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2608.05681818, with a leftover of 1.6e-08.
