We look at the division of 878942 by 44 
We want to divide 878942 by 44.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 44

On to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 87 1 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 44 from 87 to get 43.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 43 and continue with: 438 / 44

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 438 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 396 away from 438, we end up with 42.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 42, then repeat: 429 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
429 divided by 44 is 9 with a remainder of 33.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 199.0
Subtracting 396 from 429 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 334 / 44

Step 5:
If we divide 334 by 44, we get 7 and a remainder of 26.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1997.0
Subtracting 308 from 334 leaves us with 26.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 262 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
44 can be fit into 262 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 42.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19975.0
Deduct 220 from 262 and we're left with 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 420 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19975.9
Subtracting 396 from 420 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
240 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19975.95
If we take 220 away from 240, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19975.954
Subtract 176 from 200 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19975.9545
Deduct 220 from 240 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19975.95454
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
The number 44 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19975.954545
Subtract 220 from 240 to get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 200 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19975.9545454
Deduct 176 from 200 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 240 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19975.95454545
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19975.95454545, with a leftover of 2e-08.
