740261 ÷ 44 
We're looking to find how many times 44 goes into 740261.

Moving on to step 1:
44 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 74 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 44 from 74 leaves us with 30.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 30, then repeat: 300 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
44 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 264 from 300.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 362 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
44 can be fit into 362 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 168.0
If we subtract 352 from 362, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 106 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
44 goes into 106 2 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1682.0
Subtracting 88 from 106 leaves us with 18.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 181 / 44

Step 6:
When dividing 181 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16824.0
Subtract 176 from 181 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 16824.1
If we subtract 44 from 50, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16824.11
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.

The final result is 16824.11 with a remainder of 0.016.
