Let's divide 252391 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 252391 can be divided by 88.

On to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 88

Let's proceed to step 2:
88 can be fit into 25 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 25 to get 25.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 252 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 252 2 times, leaving a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 252 to get 76.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 76 and repeat the process: 763 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 763 8 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 704 away from 763, we end up with 59.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 59 and repeat the process: 599 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 599 6 times, leaving a remainder of 71.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286.0
Subtract 528 from 599 to get 71.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 71, then carry on: 711 / 88

On to step 6:
711 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 2868.0
If we take 704 away from 711, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
88 can be fit into 70 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2868.0
Subtract 0 from 70 to get 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 8:
88 can be fit into 700 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2868.07
Deduct 616 from 700 and we're left with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 840 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2868.079
Subtracting 792 from 840 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2868.0795
If we take 440 away from 480, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2868.07954
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 352 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2868.079545
Deduct 440 from 480 and we're left 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2868.0795454
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.

Step 14:
88 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2868.07954545
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 final result is 2868.07954545 with a remainder of 4e-08.
