We're dividing 297499 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 297499.

Going ahead to step 1:
88 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 29 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 29 and we're left with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 88

On to step 3:
297 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 33.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 264 from 297, we get 33.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 33, then carry on: 334 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 334 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 70.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33.0
Deduct 264 from 334 and we're left with 70.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 70 and repeat the process: 709 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
709 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 338.0
If we subtract 704 from 709, we get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
88 goes into 59 0 times with a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3380.0
Subtract 0 from 59 to get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 590 by 88, we get 6 and a remainder of 62.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3380.6
If we subtract 528 from 590, we get 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 620 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3380.67
If we take 616 away from 620, 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.

Step 9:
40 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3380.67
Subtracting 0 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 400 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3380.6704
If we subtract 352 from 400, we 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.

On to step 11:
88 can be fit into 480 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3380.67045
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 440 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3380.670454
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.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3380.6704545
Subtract 440 from 480 to 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.

Going ahead to step 14:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3380.67045454
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.

After the division, we end up with 3380.67045454 and a remainder of 4.8e-08.
