261956 divided by 88 
Let's see how many times 88 fits into 261956.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 26 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
88 goes into 26 0 times with a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 26, we get 26.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 261 / 88

On to step 3:
261 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 85.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 261 to get 85.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 85 and repeat the process: 859 / 88

Moving on to step 4:
88 can be fit into 859 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 67.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 792 from 859 and we're left with 67.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 67, then repeat: 675 / 88

Step 5:
The number 88 fits into 675 7 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 297.0
Subtracting 616 from 675 leaves us with 59.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 59 and continue with: 596 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
596 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 68.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2976.0
Subtracting 528 from 596 leaves us with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
88 goes into 680 7 times with a remainder of 64.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2976.7
Subtract 616 from 680 to get 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
640 divided by 88 is 7 with a remainder of 24.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2976.77
Deduct 616 from 640 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2976.77 with a remaining 0.024.
