Let's divide 551781 by 44
We want to divide 551781 by 44.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 55 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 55 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 44 away from 55, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
111 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 23.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 88 from 111.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 23, then carry on: 237 / 44

On to step 4:
When dividing 237 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 17.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 125.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 220 from 237.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 17, then repeat: 178 / 44

On to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 178 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1254.0
Subtracting 176 from 178 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 44

Let's proceed to step 6:
44 goes into 21 0 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12540.0
Subtracting 0 from 21 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
210 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12540.4
If we take 176 away from 210, 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 340 by 44, we get 7 and a remainder of 32.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12540.47
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 308 from 340.
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:
320 divided by 44 is 7 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12540.477
If we take 308 away from 320, we end up 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 quotient of the division is 12540.477, and the remainder is 0.0012.
