We divide 231549 by 88
We're looking to find how many times 88 goes into 231549.

Moving 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
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 88

Going ahead 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
Subtracting 0 from 23 leaves us with 23.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 231 / 88

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 231 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 55.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 176 from 231 to get 55.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 55 and continue: 555 / 88

Step 4:
The number 88 fits into 555 6 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 26.0
Subtract 528 from 555 to get 27.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 274 / 88

Step 5:
88 can be fit into 274 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 263.0
Subtract 264 from 274 to get 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 88

Step 6:
109 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2631.0
Deduct 88 from 109 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 88 fits into 210 2 times, leaving a remainder of 34.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2631.2
Deduct 176 from 210 and we're left with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
88 goes into 340 3 times with a remainder of 76.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2631.23
Deduct 264 from 340 and we're left with 76.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 760, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 760 by 88, we get 8 with a remainder of 56.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2631.238
Subtracting 704 from 760 leaves us with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
560 divided by 88 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 2631.2386
If we take 528 away from 560, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 88 fits into 320 3 times, leaving a remainder of 56.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2631.23863
Deduct 264 from 320 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
88 can be fit into 560 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2631.238636
Deduct 528 from 560 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 88, we get 3 and a remainder of 56.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2631.2386363
Deduct 264 from 320 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 560 by 88, we get 6 with a remainder of 32.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2631.23863636
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 528 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 2631.23863636, with a leftover of 3.2e-08.
