Let's divide 282949 by 88
We want to figure out the number of times 282949 can be divided by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
88 goes into 28 0 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 28, we get 28.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 282 / 88

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 282 by 88, we get 3 with a remainder of 18.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 264 from 282 leaves us with 18.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 18, then carry on: 189 / 88

Step 4:
88 goes into 189 2 times with a remainder of 13.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 176 away from 189, we end up with 13.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 134 / 88

On to step 5:
88 goes into 134 1 times with a remainder of 46.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 321.0
If we subtract 88 from 134, we get 46.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 46, then repeat: 469 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
88 can be fit into 469 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3215.0
Subtract 440 from 469 to get 29.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
88 goes into 290 3 times with a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3215.3
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 264 from 290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Step 8:
88 can be fit into 260 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 84.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3215.32
Subtract 176 from 260 to get 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
88 goes into 840 9 times with a remainder of 48.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3215.329
The remainder is 48 after subtracting 792 from 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3215.3295
Subtract 440 from 480 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
400 divided by 88 is 4 with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3215.32954
Subtracting 352 from 400 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3215.329545
If we subtract 440 from 480, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 400 4 times, leaving a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3215.3295454
If we subtract 352 from 400, we get 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Step 14:
480 divided by 88 is 5 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3215.32954545
Deduct 440 from 480 and we're left with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3215.32954545, with a leftover of 4e-08.
