We're dividing 44492979 by 558 
We're looking to find how many times 558 goes into 44492979.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 558, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 558

Moving on to step 2:
The number 558 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 0 from 44.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 444 / 558

On to step 3:
When dividing 444 by 558, we get 0 with a remainder of 444.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 444, we get 444.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 444 and continue with: 4449 / 558

Advancing to step 4:
558 can be fit into 4449 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 543.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 3906 from 4449, we get 543.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 543 and continue: 5432 / 558

Step 5:
The number 558 fits into 5432 9 times, leaving a remainder of 410.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79.0
Subtract 5022 from 5432 to get 410.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 410, then carry on: 4109 / 558

Step 6:
When dividing 4109 by 558, we get 7 with a remainder of 203.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 797.0
Subtract 3906 from 4109 to get 203.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 203 and repeat the process: 2037 / 558

Advancing to step 7:
558 goes into 2037 3 times with a remainder of 363.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7973.0
If we take 1674 away from 2037, we end up with 363.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 363, then repeat: 3639 / 558

Step 8:
3639 divided by 558 is 6 with a remainder of 291.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79736.0
Subtract 3348 from 3639 to get 291.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2910, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 2910 by 558, we get 5 and a remainder of 120.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79736.5
Subtract 2790 from 2910 to get 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 1200 by 558, we get 2 and a remainder of 84.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 79736.52
The remainder is 84 after subtracting 1116 from 1200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Step 11:
558 can be fit into 840 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 282.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79736.521
Deduct 558 from 840 and we're left with 282.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2820, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 558 fits into 2820 5 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79736.5215
Deduct 2790 from 2820 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
558 can be fit into 300 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 300.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 79736.5215
The remainder is 300 after subtracting 0 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
558 can be fit into 3000 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 210.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 79736.521505
Deduct 2790 from 3000 and we're left with 210.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2100, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 558 fits into 2100 3 times, leaving a remainder of 426.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 79736.5215053
Deduct 1674 from 2100 and we're left with 426.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4260, and continue the process.

Step 16:
4260 divided by 558 is 7 with a remainder of 354.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 79736.52150537
Subtract 3906 from 4260 to get 354.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3540, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 79736.52150537 with a balance of 3.54e-07.
