We divide 144742 by 88
We want to divide 144742 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 88

Step 2:
When dividing 14 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 144 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
88 can be fit into 144 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 56.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 88 from 144.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 56, then repeat: 567 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
567 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 39.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we subtract 528 from 567, we get 39.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 394 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 394 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 164.0
If we take 352 away from 394, we end up with 42.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 422 / 88

On to step 6:
422 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 70.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1644.0
If we take 352 away from 422, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 700 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1644.7
Subtract 616 from 700 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 840 9 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1644.79
Subtract 792 from 840 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1644.795
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 440 from 480.
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 10:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1644.7954
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1644.79545
Subtracting 440 from 480 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 12:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1644.795454
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
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 13:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1644.7954545
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1644.79545454
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.

After the division, we end up with 1644.79545454 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
