We divide 287679 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 287679 can be divided by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 287 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 287 3 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 264 from 287 leaves us with 23.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 236 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
88 can be fit into 236 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 60.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 176 from 236 and we're left with 60.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 60, then repeat: 607 / 88

Step 5:
If we divide 607 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 79.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 326.0
Subtract 528 from 607 to get 79.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 79 and repeat the process: 799 / 88

On to step 6:
88 can be fit into 799 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3269.0
Subtract 792 from 799 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3269.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 700 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 84.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3269.07
Subtracting 616 from 700 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
88 goes into 840 9 times with a remainder of 48.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3269.079
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3269.0795
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3269.07954
Subtracting 352 from 400 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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3269.079545
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.

On to step 13:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3269.0795454
Subtracting 352 from 400 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.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3269.07954545
Subtract 440 from 480 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 3269.07954545 and a remainder of 4e-08.
