Let's divide 234978 by 88
The aim is to understand the frequency of 88 in 234978.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 88

Step 2:
If we divide 23 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 23.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 0 from 23.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 234 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 234 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 58.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 176 from 234.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 58 and repeat the process: 589 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 589 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 61.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
If we subtract 528 from 589, we get 61.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 61 and continue: 617 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
617 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 267.0
If we subtract 616 from 617, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 18 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2670.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
88 can be fit into 180 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2670.2
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 176 from 180.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 40 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2670.2
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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 9:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2670.204
Subtract 352 from 400 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.

Step 10:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2670.2045
If we subtract 440 from 480, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 2670.20454
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.

Moving on to step 12:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2670.204545
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 13:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2670.2045454
If we take 352 away from 400, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2670.20454545
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.

The quotient of the division is 2670.20454545, and the remainder is 4e-08.
