Let's divide 859979 by 44
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 859979.

Advancing to step 1:
44 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 85 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 85 1 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 44 from 85 leaves us with 41.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 41 and continue: 419 / 44

Step 3:
The number 44 fits into 419 9 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we subtract 396 from 419, we get 23.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 23 and repeat the process: 239 / 44

On to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 239 5 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 195.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 220 from 239.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 197 / 44

Step 5:
197 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1954.0
Deduct 176 from 197 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 219 / 44

Step 6:
The number 44 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 19544.0
The remainder is 43 after subtracting 176 from 219.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
44 goes into 430 9 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19544.9
If we take 396 away from 430, we end up with 34.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Step 8:
44 goes into 340 7 times with a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19544.97
If we subtract 308 from 340, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 320 by 44, we get 7 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 19544.977
Subtracting 308 from 320 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.

The final result is 19544.977 with a remainder of 0.0012.
