We divide 497972 by 44
Our goal is to divide 497972 by 44.

Going ahead to step 1:
44 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 44

On to step 2:
44 goes into 49 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 44 away from 49, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 57 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 57 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 13.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 44 from 57, we get 13.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
44 can be fit into 139 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
If we subtract 132 from 139, we get 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 77 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 33.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1131.0
Subtracting 44 from 77 leaves us with 33.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 33, then repeat: 332 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 332 by 44, we get 7 with a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 11317.0
If we subtract 308 from 332, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11317.5
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
44 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11317.54
If we subtract 176 from 200, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
240 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11317.545
Deduct 220 from 240 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11317.5454
Deduct 176 from 200 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11317.54545
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 220 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11317.545454
If we subtract 176 from 200, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 44 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11317.5454545
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
44 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11317.54545454
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 11317.54545454, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
