We're dividing 299842 by 88 
Our goal is to divide 299842 by 88.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 88, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 29 / 88

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 29 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 29, we get 29.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 299 / 88

Step 3:
299 divided by 88 is 3 with a remainder of 35.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 264 from 299, we get 35.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 35, then carry on: 358 / 88

Advancing to step 4:
88 goes into 358 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 352 from 358.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 64 / 88

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 64 by 88, we get 0 with a remainder of 64.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 340.0
The remainder is 64 after subtracting 0 from 64.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 64, then repeat: 642 / 88

Moving on to step 6:
88 goes into 642 7 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3407.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 616 from 642.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
260 divided by 88 is 2 with a remainder of 84.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3407.2
If we subtract 176 from 260, we 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.

Advancing to step 8:
840 divided by 88 is 9 with a remainder of 48.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3407.29
Deduct 792 from 840 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3407.295
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3407.2954
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.

Step 11:
When dividing 480 by 88, we get 5 with a remainder of 40.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3407.29545
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 400 by 88, we get 4 and a remainder of 48.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3407.295454
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 13:
If we divide 480 by 88, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3407.2954545
Subtracting 440 from 480 leaves us 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.

On to step 14:
88 can be fit into 400 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 48.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3407.29545454
If we take 352 away from 400, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3407.29545454 with a balance of 4.8e-08.
