223979 ÷ 88 
We want to divide 223979 by 88.

Advancing to step 1:
88 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 88

Going ahead to step 2:
22 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 22 and we're left with 22.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 223 / 88

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 223 by 88, we get 2 and a remainder of 47.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 176 away from 223, we end up with 47.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 47 and continue: 479 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
The number 88 fits into 479 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 39 after subtracting 440 from 479.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 39 and continue: 397 / 88

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 397 by 88, we get 4 with a remainder of 45.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 254.0
If we subtract 352 from 397, we get 45.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 45 and repeat the process: 459 / 88

Going ahead to step 6:
88 can be fit into 459 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 2545.0
Subtract 440 from 459 to get 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 190 by 88, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2545.2
If we subtract 176 from 190, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
140 divided by 88 is 1 with a remainder of 52.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2545.21
Subtracting 88 from 140 leaves us with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 520 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2545.215
If we take 440 away from 520, we end up 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
800 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2545.2159
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.

On to step 11:
80 divided by 88 is 0 with a remainder of 80.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2545.2159
If we take 0 away from 80, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
88 can be fit into 800 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2545.215909
Deduct 792 from 800 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.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 88 fits into 80 0 times, leaving a remainder of 80.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2545.215909
If we subtract 0 from 80, we 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.

Step 14:
The number 88 fits into 800 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2545.21590909
If we subtract 792 from 800, we 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.

The final result is 2545.21590909 with a remainder of 8e-09.
