We divide 279773 by 88
We want to divide 279773 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 88 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
88 can be fit into 27 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 27 and we're left with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 can be fit into 279 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 264 from 279 to get 15.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 157 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 157 1 times, leaving a remainder of 69.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 88 away from 157, we end up with 69.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 69 and repeat the process: 697 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
88 goes into 697 7 times with a remainder of 81.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 317.0
If we take 616 away from 697, we end up with 81.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 81 and continue: 813 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
813 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 21.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3179.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 792 from 813.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 210 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 34.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3179.2
Subtract 176 from 210 to get 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 340 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 76.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3179.23
If we subtract 264 from 340, we get 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
760 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 56.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3179.238
Subtract 704 from 760 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
88 goes into 560 6 times with a remainder of 32.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3179.2386
Subtracting 528 from 560 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 11:
When dividing 320 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 56.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3179.23863
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 264 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
560 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 3179.238636
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
320 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3179.2386363
Subtract 264 from 320 to get 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 88 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3179.23863636
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 528 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3179.23863636 and a remainder of 3.2e-08.
