We look at the division of 615978 by 44 
We want to divide 615978 by 44.

On to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 6 0 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 6 to get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 44

Step 2:
61 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 17.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 44 from 61 and we're left with 17.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 175 / 44

Step 3:
If we divide 175 by 44, we get 3 and a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 13.0
If we subtract 132 from 175, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 439 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 439 9 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 139.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 396 from 439.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 437 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 437 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 41.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1399.0
Subtracting 396 from 437 leaves us with 41.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 418 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
44 can be fit into 418 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13999.0
Subtract 396 from 418 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
44 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 13999.5
Subtract 220 from 220 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.

Moving on to step 8:
0 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 13999.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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:
The number 44 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 13999.5
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.

Our division results in 13999.5 with a remaining 0.0.
