We look at the division of 278749 by 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 278749.

Advancing to step 1:
44 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 44

Step 2:
If we divide 27 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 27, we end up with 27.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 27, then repeat: 278 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
44 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 264 away from 278, we end up with 14.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 14 and repeat the process: 147 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 147 by 44, we get 3 with a remainder of 15.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 132 from 147 leaves us with 15.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 154 / 44

On to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 154 3 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 633.0
Subtract 132 from 154 to get 22.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 229 / 44

Step 6:
If we divide 229 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6335.0
Subtracting 220 from 229 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
44 goes into 90 2 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6335.2
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 88 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
44 can be fit into 20 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6335.2
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 200 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6335.204
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 176 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 10:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6335.2045
If we subtract 220 from 240, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
44 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6335.20454
If we subtract 176 from 200, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 240 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6335.204545
If we subtract 220 from 240, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6335.2045454
Subtract 176 from 200 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
240 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6335.20454545
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 6335.20454545, and the remainder is 2e-08.
