We divide 998965 by 44
We want to divide 998965 by 44.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 99 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 99 by 44, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 88 from 99.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 118 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 88 away from 118, we end up with 30.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 309 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
309 divided by 44 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 227.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 308 from 309.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 16 / 44

On to step 5:
When dividing 16 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 2270.0
If we subtract 0 from 16, we get 16.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 16, then carry on: 165 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
The number 44 fits into 165 3 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 22703.0
Subtracting 132 from 165 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 330 7 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22703.7
If we take 308 away from 330, we end up with 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 8:
When dividing 220 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22703.75
If we take 220 away from 220, 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22703.75
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 10:
44 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22703.75
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 22703.75 with a balance of 0.0.
