We're dividing 488953 by 44 
We want to divide 488953 by 44.

Step 1:
44 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 44 from 48 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
44 can be fit into 48 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 44 from 48.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 49 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 111.0
If we take 44 away from 49, we end up with 5.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 55 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
44 goes into 55 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1111.0
Deduct 44 from 55 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 113 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 113 by 44, we get 2 and a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 11112.0
Subtract 88 from 113 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
44 can be fit into 250 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11112.5
Deduct 220 from 250 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11112.56
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 264 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11112.568
Subtracting 352 from 360 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
80 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11112.5681
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 44 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 44 fits into 360 8 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11112.56818
If we take 352 away from 360, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
44 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11112.568181
Subtracting 44 from 80 leaves us with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11112.5681818
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 352 from 360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 14:
The number 44 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11112.56818181
Deduct 44 from 80 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11112.56818181 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
