Let's divide 721974 by 44
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 721974.

Step 1:
The number 44 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
72 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 44 from 72 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 281 / 44

Step 3:
When dividing 281 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 264 from 281 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 179 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 179 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 164.0
Subtracting 176 from 179 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 37 / 44

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 37.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1640.0
If we subtract 0 from 37, we get 37.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 374 / 44

Step 6:
374 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16408.0
If we subtract 352 from 374, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 220 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16408.5
If we subtract 220 from 220, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
44 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16408.5
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
44 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16408.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 16408.5 with a remaining 0.0.
