552881 divided by 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 552881.

Moving on to step 1:
44 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 44

Step 2:
If we divide 55 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 44 from 55.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
112 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 88 from 112, we get 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 24 and continue: 248 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 248 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 125.0
If we take 220 away from 248, we end up with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 288 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1256.0
Deduct 264 from 288 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 241 / 44

Step 6:
241 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 21.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12565.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 220 from 241.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 210 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 34.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12565.4
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 176 from 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
44 can be fit into 340 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12565.47
If we take 308 away from 340, we end up with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 44, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12565.477
If we subtract 308 from 320, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12565.477 with a balance of 0.0012.
