We divide 281498 by 88
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 281498.

Moving on 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.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 0 from 28.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 281 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 281 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 17.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 264 from 281, we get 17.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 174 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 174 1 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 88 from 174.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 86 and continue with: 869 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 869 9 times, leaving a remainder of 77.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 319.0
Subtracting 792 from 869 leaves us with 77.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 77 and repeat the process: 778 / 88

On to step 6:
778 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 74.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3198.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 704 from 778.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 740 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 36.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3198.8
Deduct 704 from 740 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
88 goes into 360 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3198.84
If we subtract 352 from 360, 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 9:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3198.84
If we take 0 away from 80, 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.

Step 10:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3198.8409
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.

On to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3198.8409
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3198.840909
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 792 from 800.
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 13:
When dividing 80 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3198.840909
If we subtract 0 from 80, we 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.

Advancing to step 14:
88 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3198.84090909
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.

After the division, we end up with 3198.84090909 and a remainder of 8e-09.
