We divide 540879 by 44
Let's see how many times 44 fits into 540879.

Step 1:
44 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 54 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
44 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 44 from 54 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 100 / 44

On to step 3:
100 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 88 from 100 leaves us with 12.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 128 / 44

Step 4:
44 can be fit into 128 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtract 88 from 128 to get 40.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 40, then repeat: 407 / 44

Step 5:
44 goes into 407 9 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1229.0
Subtract 396 from 407 to get 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 44

Step 6:
44 can be fit into 119 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12292.0
Subtracting 88 from 119 leaves us with 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 310, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 310 by 44, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12292.7
If we subtract 308 from 310, we 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.

On to step 8:
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: 12292.7
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
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: 12292.704
Deduct 176 from 200 and we're left 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.

Step 10:
240 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12292.7045
If we take 220 away from 240, 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.

Advancing to step 11:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12292.70454
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.

On to step 12:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12292.704545
If we take 220 away from 240, 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.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 200 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12292.7045454
Deduct 176 from 200 and we're left 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.

On to step 14:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12292.70454545
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.

After the division, we end up with 12292.70454545 and a remainder of 2e-08.
