Let's divide 281284 by 88
We want to divide 281284 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 28, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 281 3 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 264 from 281.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 172 / 88

Step 4:
88 can be fit into 172 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 88 away from 172, we end up with 84.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 84 and repeat the process: 848 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 848 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 792 from 848 leaves us with 56.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 564 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
88 can be fit into 564 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3196.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 528 from 564.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 360 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3196.4
Deduct 352 from 360 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3196.4
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3196.409
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 3196.409
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
88 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3196.40909
Subtract 792 from 800 to 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3196.40909
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3196.4090909
If we take 792 away from 800, we end up 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.

On to step 14:
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: 3196.4090909
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left 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.

After the division, we end up with 3196.4090909 and a remainder of 8e-08.
