We're dividing 88712021 by 254 
We're looking to find how many times 254 goes into 88712021.

Step 1:
When dividing 8 by 254, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 8, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 254

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 254 fits into 88 0 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 88 and we're left with 88.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 88 and repeat the process: 887 / 254

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 254 fits into 887 3 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 762 from 887 and we're left with 125.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 125, then carry on: 1251 / 254

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 254 fits into 1251 4 times, leaving a remainder of 235.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtracting 1016 from 1251 leaves us with 235.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 235 and continue: 2352 / 254

On to step 5:
The number 254 fits into 2352 9 times, leaving a remainder of 66.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 349.0
Subtracting 2286 from 2352 leaves us with 66.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 66, then repeat: 660 / 254

Step 6:
254 can be fit into 660 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 152.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3492.0
If we subtract 508 from 660, we get 152.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 152 and continue: 1522 / 254

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 1522 by 254, we get 5 and a remainder of 252.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 34925.0
Deduct 1270 from 1522 and we're left with 252.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 252 and continue with: 2521 / 254

Step 8:
If we divide 2521 by 254, we get 9 and a remainder of 235.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 349259.0
If we take 2286 away from 2521, we end up with 235.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2350, and continue the process.

Step 9:
254 can be fit into 2350 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 64.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 349259.9
Subtracting 2286 from 2350 leaves us with 64.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 640, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
640 divided by 254 is 2 with a remainder of 132.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 349259.92
The remainder is 132 after subtracting 508 from 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
254 can be fit into 1320 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 349259.925
Subtract 1270 from 1320 to get 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 254 fits into 500 1 times, leaving a remainder of 246.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 349259.9251
Deduct 254 from 500 and we're left with 246.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2460, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 2460 by 254, we get 9 and a remainder of 174.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 349259.92519
If we take 2286 away from 2460, we end up with 174.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1740, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 254 fits into 1740 6 times, leaving a remainder of 216.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 349259.925196
Deduct 1524 from 1740 and we're left with 216.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
254 can be fit into 2160 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 349259.9251968
If we take 2032 away from 2160, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Step 16:
254 can be fit into 1280 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 349259.92519685
If we subtract 1270 from 1280, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 349259.92519685, and the remainder is 1e-08.
