We're dividing 172341 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 172341.

Step 1:
When dividing 1 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 172 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 goes into 172 1 times with a remainder of 84.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 88 from 172 and we're left with 84.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 84 and continue: 843 / 88

On to step 4:
88 goes into 843 9 times with a remainder of 51.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 792 from 843, we get 51.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 51 and continue with: 514 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
514 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 195.0
Deduct 440 from 514 and we're left with 74.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 74, then repeat: 741 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 741 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1958.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 704 from 741.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
88 goes into 370 4 times with a remainder of 18.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1958.4
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 352 from 370.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
88 goes into 180 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1958.42
If we take 176 away from 180, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
88 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1958.42
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1958.4204
Subtract 352 from 400 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
88 goes into 480 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1958.42045
If we take 440 away from 480, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1958.420454
Deduct 352 from 400 and we're left with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1958.4204545
Subtracting 440 from 480 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
88 goes into 400 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1958.42045454
Subtract 352 from 400 to get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

The final result is 1958.42045454 with a remainder of 4.8e-08.
