987889 divided by 44 
We want to divide 987889 by 44.

Advancing to step 1:
44 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
98 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 88 from 98.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 107 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 107 by 44, we get 2 and a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we subtract 88 from 107, we get 19.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 19, then repeat: 198 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 198 4 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 224.0
Subtract 176 from 198 to get 22.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 228 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 228 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2245.0
Subtracting 220 from 228 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 44

Let's proceed to step 6:
44 goes into 89 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22452.0
If we take 88 away from 89, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
10 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22452.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
44 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22452.02
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
120 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22452.022
Deduct 88 from 120 and we're left 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 22452.022 with a balance of 0.0032.
