Let's divide 208996 by 44
Our goal is to divide 208996 by 44.

Moving on to step 1:
44 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 20 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 20.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 0 from 20.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 20, then carry on: 208 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 208 4 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 176 from 208, we get 32.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 32 and continue with: 329 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 329 by 44, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 308 from 329 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 219 / 44

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 219 4 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 474.0
Subtracting 176 from 219 leaves us with 43.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 43, then repeat: 436 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
44 goes into 436 9 times with a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4749.0
If we subtract 396 from 436, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 400 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 4749.9
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 8:
44 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4749.9
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4749.909
If we subtract 396 from 400, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
40 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4749.909
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
400 divided by 44 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4749.90909
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.

Advancing to step 12:
40 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4749.90909
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
44 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4749.9090909
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.

Moving on to step 14:
40 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 4749.9090909
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.

Our division results in 4749.9090909 with a remaining 4e-08.
