981497 divided by 44 
We want to figure out the number of times 981497 can be divided by 44.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 98 2 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 88 from 98 and we're left with 10.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 101 / 44

On to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 101 2 times, leaving a remainder of 13.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 88 from 101 and we're left with 13.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 134 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 134 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 223.0
Deduct 132 from 134 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 29 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 29.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2230.0
If we take 0 away from 29, we end up with 29.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 297 / 44

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 297 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 33.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 22306.0
Subtracting 264 from 297 leaves us with 33.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
44 goes into 330 7 times with a remainder of 22.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22306.7
Deduct 308 from 330 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
44 goes into 220 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 22306.75
If we take 220 away from 220, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 0 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22306.75
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 44 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22306.75
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 22306.75 and a remainder of 0.0.
