We look at the division of 33878 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 33878 by 88.

Let's proceed to step 1:
88 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 33 / 88

On to step 2:
33 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 33.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 33 to get 33.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 338 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
88 goes into 338 3 times with a remainder of 74.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 74 after subtracting 264 from 338.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 74 and continue: 747 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
88 can be fit into 747 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 704 from 747.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 438 / 88

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 88 fits into 438 4 times, leaving a remainder of 86.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 384.0
The remainder is 86 after subtracting 352 from 438.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 860, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 860 by 88, we get 9 with a remainder of 68.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 384.9
Subtract 792 from 860 to get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 88 fits into 680 7 times, leaving a remainder of 64.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 384.97
Subtracting 616 from 680 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 640 by 88, we get 7 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 384.977
If we take 616 away from 640, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 384.977 with a balance of 0.0024.
