We divide 18997 by 88
We want to divide 18997 by 88.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 18 and we're left with 18.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 18 and continue with: 189 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
88 can be fit into 189 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 176 away from 189, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 88

Step 4:
139 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 88 from 139 to get 51.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 51, then repeat: 517 / 88

Step 5:
88 goes into 517 5 times with a remainder of 77.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 215.0
If we subtract 440 from 517, we get 77.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 770, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
When dividing 770 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 215.8
Subtracting 704 from 770 leaves us with 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
88 can be fit into 660 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 215.87
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 616 from 660.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 88 fits into 440 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 215.875
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 440 from 440.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 88 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 215.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
0 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 215.875
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 215.875, and the remainder is 0.0.
