We divide 42444337 by 144
We want to divide 42444337 by 144.

Step 1:
If we divide 4 by 144, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 144

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 42 by 144, we get 0 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 42, we end up with 42.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 42, then carry on: 424 / 144

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 424 by 144, we get 2 with a remainder of 136.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 288 from 424 leaves us with 136.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 136 and repeat the process: 1364 / 144

Step 4:
The number 144 fits into 1364 9 times, leaving a remainder of 68.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29.0
If we take 1296 away from 1364, we end up with 68.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 68 and continue with: 684 / 144

Step 5:
The number 144 fits into 684 4 times, leaving a remainder of 108.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294.0
Subtracting 576 from 684 leaves us with 108.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 108 and repeat the process: 1083 / 144

Advancing to step 6:
144 goes into 1083 7 times with a remainder of 75.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2947.0
If we subtract 1008 from 1083, we get 75.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 75 and continue: 753 / 144

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 144 fits into 753 5 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29475.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 720 from 753.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 337 / 144

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 337 by 144, we get 2 and a remainder of 49.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 294752.0
If we subtract 288 from 337, we get 49.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 490, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
490 divided by 144 is 3 with a remainder of 58.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294752.3
Subtracting 432 from 490 leaves us with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
144 can be fit into 580 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 294752.34
If we take 576 away from 580, we end up with 4.
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 11:
The number 144 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 294752.34
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 12:
400 divided by 144 is 2 with a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 294752.3402
Deduct 288 from 400 and we're left with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
The number 144 fits into 1120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 294752.34027
Subtract 1008 from 1120 to get 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 1120 by 144, we get 7 with a remainder of 112.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 294752.340277
If we take 1008 away from 1120, we end up with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 294752.340277 with a balance of 1.12e-05.
