We look at the division of 989979 by 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 989979.

Step 1:
The number 44 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 44

Step 2:
44 goes into 98 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 88 away from 98, we end up with 10.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
109 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 21.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 88 away from 109, we end up with 21.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 219 / 44

Step 4:
The number 44 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we take 176 away from 219, we end up with 43.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 43 and continue: 437 / 44

On to step 5:
44 can be fit into 437 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2249.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 396 from 437.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 419 / 44

Step 6:
When dividing 419 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22499.0
If we take 396 away from 419, we end up with 23.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
44 goes into 230 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22499.5
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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
44 can be fit into 100 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22499.52
Subtracting 88 from 100 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 44 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22499.522
If we take 88 away from 120, we end up 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.

Our division results in 22499.522 with a remaining 0.0032.
