We look at the division of 88442578 by 231 
We're looking to find how many times 231 goes into 88442578.

On to step 1:
231 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 88 / 231

On to step 2:
If we divide 88 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 88.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 88 after subtracting 0 from 88.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 88 and continue: 884 / 231

Advancing to step 3:
The number 231 fits into 884 3 times, leaving a remainder of 191.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 693 from 884 and we're left with 191.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 191 and continue with: 1914 / 231

Let's proceed to step 4:
1914 divided by 231 is 8 with a remainder of 66.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtracting 1848 from 1914 leaves us with 66.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 66, then repeat: 662 / 231

On to step 5:
When dividing 662 by 231, we get 2 with a remainder of 200.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382.0
If we take 462 away from 662, we end up with 200.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 200 and continue: 2005 / 231

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 231 fits into 2005 8 times, leaving a remainder of 157.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3828.0
Subtracting 1848 from 2005 leaves us with 157.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 157, then repeat: 1577 / 231

Advancing to step 7:
231 can be fit into 1577 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 191.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38286.0
Subtract 1386 from 1577 to get 191.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 191, then repeat: 1918 / 231

Moving on to step 8:
1918 divided by 231 is 8 with a remainder of 70.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382868.0
Subtract 1848 from 1918 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.

On to step 9:
The number 231 fits into 700 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 382868.3
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 693 from 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 231 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382868.3
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.

Moving on to step 11:
231 goes into 700 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382868.303
If we take 693 away from 700, 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 70 by 231, we get 0 and a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 382868.303
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 700 by 231, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 382868.30303
If we take 693 away from 700, 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.

On to step 14:
The number 231 fits into 70 0 times, leaving a remainder of 70.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 382868.30303
If we take 0 away from 70, we end up with 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 15:
The number 231 fits into 700 3 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 382868.3030303
If we take 693 away from 700, 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.

Advancing to step 16:
70 divided by 231 is 0 with a remainder of 70.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 382868.3030303
Subtracting 0 from 70 leaves us with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Our division results in 382868.3030303 with a remaining 7e-08.
