Let's divide 204729 by 88
Our goal is to divide 204729 by 88.

Let's proceed to 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
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 88

Step 2:
The number 88 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 20 and continue with: 204 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
204 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 176 from 204 leaves us with 28.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 287 / 88

On to step 4:
When dividing 287 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 23.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 264 from 287 to get 23.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 232 / 88

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 232 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 232.0
Deduct 176 from 232 and we're left with 56.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 56 and repeat the process: 569 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
569 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 41.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2326.0
Deduct 528 from 569 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 88 fits into 410 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2326.4
Subtract 352 from 410 to get 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
88 can be fit into 580 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 52.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2326.46
The remainder is 52 after subtracting 528 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 520 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 80.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2326.465
If we take 440 away from 520, we end up with 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2326.4659
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 792 from 800.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2326.4659
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2326.465909
Subtracting 792 from 800 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2326.465909
The remainder is 80 after subtracting 0 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 800 by 88, we get 9 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2326.46590909
Subtract 792 from 800 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 2326.46590909 with a remainder of 8e-09.
