We look at the division of 217289 by 44 
We want to divide 217289 by 44.

Step 1:
44 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 217 / 44

Step 3:
217 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 176 from 217.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 41, then repeat: 412 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 412 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 396 from 412, we get 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 44

On to step 5:
44 can be fit into 168 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 493.0
Subtracting 132 from 168 leaves us with 36.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 369 / 44

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 369 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 17.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4938.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 352 from 369.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 170, and continue the process.

Step 7:
170 divided by 44 is 3 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4938.3
If we subtract 132 from 170, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
44 goes into 380 8 times with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4938.38
Subtract 352 from 380 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 280 by 44, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4938.386
If we take 264 away from 280, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
44 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4938.3863
Deduct 132 from 160 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
The number 44 fits into 280 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4938.38636
Deduct 264 from 280 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
160 divided by 44 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4938.386363
Subtract 132 from 160 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 280 by 44, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4938.3863636
If we take 264 away from 280, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
44 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4938.38636363
If we take 132 away from 160, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 4938.38636363 and a remainder of 2.8e-08.
