2 divided by 44 is 0 with 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.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 24 0 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 0 from 24.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 24, then repeat: 242 / 44

Let's proceed to step 3:
44 goes into 242 5 times with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 220 from 242 and we're left with 22.

Step 10:
When dividing 40 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 5503.909
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
44 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 5503.90909
If we subtract 396 from 400, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
When dividing 40 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5503.90909
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 13:
44 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5503.9090909
Deduct 396 from 400 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.
