21981583 ÷ 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 21981583.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 44

Step 2:
21 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 219 / 44

Step 3:
44 can be fit into 219 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 176 from 219, we get 43.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 43, then carry on: 438 / 44

Step 4:
438 divided by 44 is 9 with a remainder of 42.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we subtract 396 from 438, we get 42.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 421 / 44

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 421 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 499.0
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 396 from 421.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 25 and continue with: 255 / 44

On to step 6:
The number 44 fits into 255 5 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4995.0
Deduct 220 from 255 and we're left with 35.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 35 and repeat the process: 358 / 44

Let's proceed to step 7:
44 can be fit into 358 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49958.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 352 from 358.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 63 / 44

Going ahead to step 8:
63 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 19.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 499581.0
If we take 44 away from 63, we end up with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 190 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 14.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 499581.4
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 176 from 190.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 44 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 499581.43
If we take 132 away from 140, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 80 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 499581.431
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 44 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 44 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 499581.4318
Subtract 352 from 360 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
44 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 499581.43181
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 44 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 14:
44 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 499581.431818
Subtracting 352 from 360 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
The number 44 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 499581.4318181
Subtracting 44 from 80 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Step 16:
44 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 499581.43181818
Deduct 352 from 360 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 499581.43181818 and a remainder of 8e-09.
