We're dividing 542241 by 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 542241.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 54 1 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 44 from 54, we get 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 102 by 44, we get 2 and a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 88 from 102.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
142 divided by 44 is 3 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 123.0
If we subtract 132 from 142, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 104 / 44

Step 5:
If we divide 104 by 44, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1232.0
If we take 88 away from 104, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 44

Step 6:
44 can be fit into 161 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 29.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12323.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 132 from 161.
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:
290 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 26.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12323.6
If we subtract 264 from 290, we get 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:
44 goes into 260 5 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12323.65
Deduct 220 from 260 and we're left 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.

Step 9:
44 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12323.659
Subtract 396 from 400 to get 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 10:
When dividing 40 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12323.659
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 400 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12323.65909
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 396 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead 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: 12323.65909
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 13:
If we divide 400 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12323.6590909
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.

On to step 14:
44 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12323.6590909
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 12323.6590909, with a leftover of 4e-08.
