Let's divide 173697 by 44
We want to figure out the number of times 173697 can be divided by 44.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 44

On to step 2:
44 goes into 17 0 times with a remainder of 17.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 17 leaves us with 17.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 173 / 44

On to step 3:
44 goes into 173 3 times with a remainder of 41.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 132 from 173 and we're left with 41.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 416 / 44

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 416 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 20.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 396 from 416 to get 20.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 20 and continue: 209 / 44

Moving on to step 5:
44 can be fit into 209 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 394.0
Subtracting 176 from 209 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 337 / 44

Step 6:
When dividing 337 by 44, we get 7 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3947.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 308 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 290, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
44 goes into 290 6 times with a remainder of 26.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3947.6
Deduct 264 from 290 and we're left with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 260 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 3947.65
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 220 from 260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 400 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3947.659
Subtracting 396 from 400 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 44 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3947.659
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 44 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3947.65909
If we take 396 away from 400, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3947.65909
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3947.6590909
If we take 396 away from 400, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
44 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3947.6590909
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3947.6590909, with a leftover of 4e-08.
