We're dividing 729987 by 44 
We want to figure out the number of times 729987 can be divided by 44.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 44

On to step 2:
72 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 44 from 72 and we're left with 28.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 289 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
289 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 25.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 264 from 289 to get 25.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 25, then repeat: 259 / 44

Step 4:
The number 44 fits into 259 5 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165.0
Deduct 220 from 259 and we're left with 39.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 39, then repeat: 398 / 44

Moving on to step 5:
398 divided by 44 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1659.0
Subtract 396 from 398 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 44

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 44 fits into 27 0 times, leaving a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16590.0
The remainder is 27 after subtracting 0 from 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 270 6 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16590.6
Subtract 264 from 270 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16590.61
Deduct 44 from 60 and we're left with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 44 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16590.613
Subtract 132 from 160 to get 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Step 10:
280 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16590.6136
Subtracting 264 from 280 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
160 divided by 44 is 3 with a remainder of 28.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16590.61363
If we take 132 away from 160, we end up with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
44 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16590.613636
If we subtract 264 from 280, we get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
44 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16590.6136363
Subtracting 132 from 160 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
44 goes into 280 6 times with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 16590.61363636
Subtract 264 from 280 to get 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 16590.61363636 and a remainder of 1.6e-08.
