We divide 558143 by 44
We want to divide 558143 by 44.

On to step 1:
44 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 44

On to step 2:
55 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 44 from 55, we get 11.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 118 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 118 by 44, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 88 from 118 leaves us with 30.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 30, then carry on: 301 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
44 goes into 301 6 times with a remainder of 37.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 126.0
Deduct 264 from 301 and we're left with 37.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 37, then repeat: 374 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 374 8 times, leaving a remainder of 22.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1268.0
Subtract 352 from 374 to get 22.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 22 and repeat the process: 223 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
44 goes into 223 5 times with a remainder of 3.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12685.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 220 from 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12685.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 0 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 44 fits into 300 6 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12685.06
Subtracting 264 from 300 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
When dividing 360 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12685.068
If we subtract 352 from 360, we get 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 10:
80 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12685.0681
If we subtract 44 from 80, we get 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 11:
44 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 12685.06818
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:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12685.068181
Subtract 44 from 80 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
44 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12685.0681818
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12685.06818181
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.

After the division, we end up with 12685.06818181 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
