Let's divide 179878 by 44
We want to divide 179878 by 44.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 44

On to step 2:
If we divide 17 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 17 and we're left with 17.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 17 and continue with: 179 / 44

Step 3:
44 goes into 179 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 176 from 179 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 44

Moving on to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 38 0 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 38 leaves us with 38.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 38, then carry on: 387 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 387 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 35.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 408.0
If we take 352 away from 387, we end up with 35.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 35 and continue with: 358 / 44

Going ahead to step 6:
358 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4088.0
If we subtract 352 from 358, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 60 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4088.1
If we take 44 away from 60, we end up 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 160 by 44, we get 3 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4088.13
If we subtract 132 from 160, we 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 280 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 16.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4088.136
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.

Moving on to step 10:
44 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4088.1363
If we subtract 132 from 160, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 280 by 44, we get 6 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4088.13636
Deduct 264 from 280 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
If we divide 160 by 44, we get 3 and a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4088.136363
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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
280 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 16.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4088.1363636
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.

Step 14:
44 can be fit into 160 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4088.13636363
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.

The quotient of the division is 4088.13636363, and the remainder is 2.8e-08.
