238972 ÷ 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 238972.

On to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 23 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
44 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 23, we end up with 23.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 23, then repeat: 238 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
238 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 18.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 220 from 238, we get 18.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 189 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 189 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 54.0
Subtract 176 from 189 to get 13.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 13, then repeat: 137 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
44 goes into 137 3 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 543.0
Subtract 132 from 137 to get 5.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 52 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 52 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5431.0
Deduct 44 from 52 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 80 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5431.1
If we take 44 away from 80, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 360 by 44, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5431.18
Subtracting 352 from 360 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
44 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5431.181
Deduct 44 from 80 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5431.1818
Deduct 352 from 360 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 44 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5431.18181
Subtract 44 from 80 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5431.181818
If we subtract 352 from 360, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5431.1818181
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 44 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
44 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5431.18181818
Subtract 352 from 360 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 5431.18181818 with a remainder of 8e-09.
