961988 ÷ 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 961988.

Moving on to step 1:
44 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 96 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 96 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 88 from 96, we get 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 44

Step 3:
The number 44 fits into 81 1 times, leaving a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 44 from 81.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 379 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
44 goes into 379 8 times with a remainder of 27.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 218.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 352 from 379.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 278 / 44

Step 5:
44 can be fit into 278 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2186.0
If we take 264 away from 278, we end up with 14.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 148 / 44

Going ahead to step 6:
44 goes into 148 3 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21863.0
If we take 132 away from 148, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 160 by 44, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 21863.3
Deduct 132 from 160 and we're left with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
280 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21863.36
If we take 264 away from 280, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
160 divided by 44 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21863.363
Subtracting 132 from 160 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
280 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21863.3636
Subtracting 264 from 280 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
44 goes into 160 3 times with a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21863.36363
Subtract 132 from 160 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 12:
When dividing 280 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21863.363636
If we subtract 264 from 280, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Step 13:
44 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21863.3636363
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 132 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 14:
44 can be fit into 280 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21863.36363636
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 264 from 280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 21863.36363636 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
