342458 ÷ 88 
Our goal is to divide 342458 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
88 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 34 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
88 goes into 34 0 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 34 to get 34.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 34 and continue with: 342 / 88

On to step 3:
If we divide 342 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 78.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 264 from 342 leaves us with 78.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 78 and continue with: 784 / 88

Step 4:
784 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 80.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
If we take 704 away from 784, we end up with 80.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 80, then repeat: 805 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 805 9 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we take 792 away from 805, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 88

On to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 138 1 times, leaving a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3891.0
Subtracting 88 from 138 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3891.5
If we take 440 away from 500, we end up with 60.
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 8:
If we divide 600 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3891.56
Subtracting 528 from 600 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3891.568
If we subtract 704 from 720, we 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3891.5681
If we subtract 88 from 160, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Step 11:
88 goes into 720 8 times with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3891.56818
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.

Moving on to step 12:
160 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3891.568181
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
88 can be fit into 720 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3891.5681818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
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 14:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 3891.56818181
Subtract 88 from 160 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3891.56818181 with a balance of 7.2e-08.
