896986 ÷ 44 
Let's see how many times 44 fits into 896986.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 89 / 44

Step 2:
The number 44 fits into 89 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 88 from 89, we get 1.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 16 / 44

On to step 3:
When dividing 16 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 169 by 44, we get 3 and a remainder of 37.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 203.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 132 from 169.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 37, then carry on: 378 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
44 goes into 378 8 times with a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2038.0
If we take 352 away from 378, we end up with 26.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 26 and continue: 266 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
44 can be fit into 266 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20386.0
Subtract 264 from 266 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 20 0 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20386.0
If we take 0 away from 20, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 200 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20386.04
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20386.045
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 220 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 44 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 20386.0454
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 20386.04545
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 220 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 12:
200 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20386.045454
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 44 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20386.0454545
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
When dividing 200 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20386.04545454
Subtract 176 from 200 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 20386.04545454 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
