We're dividing 279802 by 88 
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 279802.

Step 1:
The number 88 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 88

On to step 2:
88 goes into 27 0 times with a remainder of 27.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 27, then carry on: 279 / 88

Step 3:
When dividing 279 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 264 from 279, we get 15.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 15 and repeat the process: 158 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
88 can be fit into 158 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 70.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtracting 88 from 158 leaves us with 70.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 70 and continue with: 700 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 700 by 88, we get 7 with a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 317.0
Subtracting 616 from 700 leaves us with 84.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 84 and continue with: 842 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
88 goes into 842 9 times with a remainder of 50.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3179.0
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 792 from 842.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 500 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 60.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3179.5
If we subtract 440 from 500, we get 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
600 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 72.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3179.56
Subtracting 528 from 600 leaves us with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3179.568
If we take 704 away from 720, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 88, we get 1 with a remainder of 72.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3179.5681
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 720 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3179.56818
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 704 from 720.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
88 goes into 160 1 times with a remainder of 72.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3179.568181
Subtract 88 from 160 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
720 divided by 88 is 8 with a remainder of 16.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3179.5681818
Deduct 704 from 720 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 88 fits into 160 1 times, leaving a remainder of 72.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3179.56818181
Deduct 88 from 160 and we're left with 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 3179.56818181 and a remainder of 7.2e-08.
