We're dividing 159761 by 88 
We want to divide 159761 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 15 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 15 0 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 159 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 159 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 71.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 88 from 159 to get 71.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 71 and continue: 717 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
717 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 13.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
Deduct 704 from 717 and we're left with 13.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 136 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 136 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 48.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 181.0
Subtract 88 from 136 to get 48.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 48 and continue with: 481 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
481 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1815.0
If we take 440 away from 481, we end up with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
88 can be fit into 410 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1815.4
Subtract 352 from 410 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 580 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1815.46
If we take 528 away from 580, we end up with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
88 can be fit into 520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1815.465
If we take 440 away from 520, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1815.4659
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1815.4659
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1815.465909
If we subtract 792 from 800, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
88 can be fit into 80 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 80.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1815.465909
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1815.46590909
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1815.46590909, with a leftover of 8e-09.
