We're dividing 989842 by 44 
We want to divide 989842 by 44.

Going ahead to step 1:
9 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 44

On 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
Subtracting 88 from 98 leaves us with 10.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 109 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 109 2 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 88 away from 109, we end up with 21.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 218 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 218 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 224.0
Deduct 176 from 218 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 424 / 44

Moving on to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 424 9 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2249.0
Subtract 396 from 424 to get 28.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 28 and repeat the process: 282 / 44

Step 6:
The number 44 fits into 282 6 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22496.0
Deduct 264 from 282 and we're left with 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
44 can be fit into 180 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22496.4
Subtracting 176 from 180 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22496.4
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 44 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22496.409
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 396 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
44 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22496.409
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 11:
400 divided by 44 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22496.40909
Subtract 396 from 400 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 40 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22496.40909
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 400 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 22496.4090909
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 396 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
The number 44 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22496.4090909
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The final result is 22496.4090909 with a remainder of 4e-08.
