539982 ÷ 44 
We want to figure out the number of times 539982 can be divided by 44.

On to step 1:
5 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
53 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 44 from 53 leaves us with 9.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 99 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 99 by 44, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 88 from 99, we get 11.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 119 / 44

Moving on to step 4:
44 can be fit into 119 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 88 from 119.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 31 and continue with: 318 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 318 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1227.0
If we take 308 away from 318, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 102 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 102 by 44, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12272.0
If we subtract 88 from 102, we 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.

On to step 7:
44 can be fit into 140 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12272.3
Subtract 132 from 140 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.

On to step 8:
44 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12272.31
The remainder is 36 after subtracting 44 from 80.
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 9:
44 goes into 360 8 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12272.318
Subtracting 352 from 360 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
44 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12272.3181
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 11:
44 can be fit into 360 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12272.31818
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.

Moving on to step 12:
80 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 12272.318181
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.

On to step 13:
If we divide 360 by 44, we get 8 and a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12272.3181818
Subtracting 352 from 360 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 80 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 36.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12272.31818181
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.

After the division, we end up with 12272.31818181 and a remainder of 3.6e-08.
