We divide 218699 by 44
We want to figure out the number of times 218699 can be divided by 44.

Going ahead to step 1:
44 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 21 / 44

Step 2:
If we divide 21 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 21.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 21 to get 21.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 21, then carry on: 218 / 44

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 218 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 176 from 218 and we're left with 42.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 426 / 44

Going ahead to step 4:
44 can be fit into 426 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 49.0
Subtract 396 from 426 to get 30.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 309 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
44 goes into 309 7 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 497.0
If we take 308 away from 309, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 19 / 44

Moving on to step 6:
19 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 19.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4970.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 190 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 14.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4970.4
Subtract 176 from 190 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 44 fits into 140 3 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4970.43
If we subtract 132 from 140, 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4970.431
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 360 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4970.4318
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.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 4970.43181
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
44 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4970.431818
Subtract 352 from 360 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4970.4318181
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.

Advancing to step 14:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4970.43181818
Subtract 352 from 360 to 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.

After the division, we end up with 4970.43181818 and a remainder of 8e-09.
