We're dividing 144871 by 44 
We want to divide 144871 by 44.

Going ahead to step 1:
1 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 44

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 14 0 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 144 / 44

On to step 3:
When dividing 144 by 44, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 132 away from 144, we end up with 12.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 128 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
44 goes into 128 2 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 88 away from 128, we end up with 40.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 407 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 407 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 329.0
Subtract 396 from 407 to get 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 111 by 44, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3292.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 88 from 111.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 230 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3292.5
Subtracting 220 from 230 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
100 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3292.52
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 88 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
120 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3292.522
Subtracting 88 from 120 leaves us 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3292.522 with a balance of 0.0032.
