281599 ÷ 88 
Our goal is to divide 281599 by 88.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 88

On to step 2:
The number 88 fits into 28 0 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 28, then carry on: 281 / 88

On to step 3:
88 goes into 281 3 times with a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 264 away from 281, we end up with 17.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 17 and repeat the process: 175 / 88

Going ahead to step 4:
88 can be fit into 175 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 87.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 88 from 175.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 87 and continue: 879 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
88 goes into 879 9 times with a remainder of 87.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 319.0
Deduct 792 from 879 and we're left with 87.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 87, then carry on: 879 / 88

On to step 6:
879 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 87.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3199.0
The remainder is 87 after subtracting 792 from 879.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 870, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
870 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 78.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3199.9
Subtract 792 from 870 to get 78.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 780, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
780 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 76.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3199.98
Subtracting 704 from 780 leaves us with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 760 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3199.988
Subtracting 704 from 760 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 3199.988 with a balance of 0.0056.
