We look at the division of 279950 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 279950.

Moving on to step 1:
2 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 88

On to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 27 and repeat the process: 279 / 88

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 88 fits into 279 3 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 264 from 279 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
88 goes into 159 1 times with a remainder of 71.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 88 from 159.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 71, then repeat: 715 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
715 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we take 704 away from 715, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 88

Advancing to step 6:
The number 88 fits into 110 1 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3181.0
If we take 88 away from 110, we end up with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 220 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3181.2
If we take 176 away from 220, we end up with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
440 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3181.25
Subtract 440 from 440 to 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 9:
88 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3181.25
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3181.25
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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 final outcome is 3181.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
