Let's divide 272786 by 88
Our goal is to divide 272786 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 27, we get 27.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 272 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 272 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 264 from 272.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 87 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 87 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 87.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 0 from 87.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 878 / 88

Step 5:
The number 88 fits into 878 9 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 309.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 792 from 878.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 86 and continue: 866 / 88

On to step 6:
866 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 74.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3099.0
Deduct 792 from 866 and we're left with 74.
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:
If we divide 740 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3099.8
If we subtract 704 from 740, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3099.84
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.

On to step 9:
88 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3099.84
Subtracting 0 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 800 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3099.8409
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3099.8409
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 12:
88 goes into 800 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3099.840909
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 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 13:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3099.840909
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 14:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3099.84090909
Subtract 792 from 800 to 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.

The final result is 3099.84090909 with a remainder of 8e-09.
