248961 ÷ 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 248961 can be divided by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
88 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 88

Step 2:
88 goes into 24 0 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 24 leaves us with 24.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 248 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
248 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 72.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 176 from 248, we get 72.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 72 and continue: 729 / 88

On to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 729 8 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtract 704 from 729 to get 25.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 25, then carry on: 256 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 256 2 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 282.0
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 176 from 256.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 80 and continue: 801 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 801 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 9.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2829.0
If we take 792 away from 801, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2829.1
If we take 88 away from 90, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
20 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2829.1
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
200 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2829.102
Subtract 176 from 200 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
240 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 64.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2829.1022
Subtracting 176 from 240 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.

Our division results in 2829.1022 with a remaining 0.00064.
