230497 divided by 88 
We want to figure out the number of times 230497 can be divided by 88.

Moving on to step 1:
88 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in 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.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 88

Advancing to step 2:
23 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 230 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
88 goes into 230 2 times with a remainder of 54.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 176 from 230, we get 54.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 54, then carry on: 544 / 88

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 544 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 528 from 544 to get 16.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 169 / 88

On to step 5:
If we divide 169 by 88, we get 1 and a remainder of 81.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 261.0
Subtracting 88 from 169 leaves us with 81.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 81, then repeat: 817 / 88

Let's proceed to step 6:
88 can be fit into 817 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 25.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2619.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 792 from 817.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 250 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 74.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2619.2
Subtract 176 from 250 to get 74.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 740, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 740 by 88, we get 8 and a remainder of 36.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2619.28
If we take 704 away from 740, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
88 can be fit into 360 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2619.284
Deduct 352 from 360 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2619.284
Subtract 0 from 80 to get 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 11:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2619.28409
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
88 goes into 80 0 times with a remainder of 80.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2619.28409
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 13:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2619.2840909
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.

Let's proceed to step 14:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2619.2840909
Deduct 0 from 80 and we're left 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.

The final outcome is 2619.2840909, with a leftover of 8e-08.
