We're dividing 44854965 by 421 
Our goal is to divide 44854965 by 421.

Let's proceed to step 1:
421 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 421

Step 2:
44 divided by 421 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 421

Step 3:
448 divided by 421 is 1 with a remainder of 27.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 421 from 448 and we're left with 27.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 27 and continue: 275 / 421

Step 4:
421 goes into 275 0 times with a remainder of 275.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 275 after subtracting 0 from 275.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 275, then repeat: 2754 / 421

Moving on to step 5:
421 can be fit into 2754 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 228.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106.0
If we subtract 2526 from 2754, we get 228.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 228 and continue: 2289 / 421

Let's proceed to step 6:
421 goes into 2289 5 times with a remainder of 184.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1065.0
The remainder is 184 after subtracting 2105 from 2289.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 184 and continue: 1846 / 421

Step 7:
1846 divided by 421 is 4 with a remainder of 162.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10654.0
Deduct 1684 from 1846 and we're left with 162.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 162, then repeat: 1625 / 421

Moving on to step 8:
The number 421 fits into 1625 3 times, leaving a remainder of 362.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106543.0
If we take 1263 away from 1625, we end up with 362.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3620, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 3620 by 421, we get 8 with a remainder of 252.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 106543.8
The remainder is 252 after subtracting 3368 from 3620.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2520, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
421 can be fit into 2520 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 415.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 106543.85
Deduct 2105 from 2520 and we're left with 415.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4150, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
421 can be fit into 4150 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 361.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 106543.859
Subtract 3789 from 4150 to get 361.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3610, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
The number 421 fits into 3610 8 times, leaving a remainder of 242.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106543.8598
Deduct 3368 from 3610 and we're left with 242.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
If we divide 2420 by 421, we get 5 and a remainder of 315.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106543.85985
The remainder is 315 after subtracting 2105 from 2420.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3150, and continue the process.

Step 14:
421 goes into 3150 7 times with a remainder of 203.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 106543.859857
Deduct 2947 from 3150 and we're left with 203.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2030, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
2030 divided by 421 is 4 with a remainder of 346.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 106543.8598574
If we subtract 1684 from 2030, we get 346.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3460, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
The number 421 fits into 3460 8 times, leaving a remainder of 92.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 106543.85985748
If we subtract 3368 from 3460, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 106543.85985748 and a remainder of 9.2e-08.
