We look at the division of 44834978 by 159 
We're looking to find how many times 159 goes into 44834978.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 159 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 159

Step 2:
159 can be fit into 44 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 159

Moving on to step 3:
448 divided by 159 is 2 with a remainder of 130.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 318 from 448 leaves us with 130.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 130, then repeat: 1303 / 159

Going ahead to step 4:
159 can be fit into 1303 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
The remainder is 31 after subtracting 1272 from 1303.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 314 / 159

Step 5:
159 goes into 314 1 times with a remainder of 155.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281.0
The remainder is 155 after subtracting 159 from 314.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 155 and repeat the process: 1559 / 159

Step 6:
1559 divided by 159 is 9 with a remainder of 128.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 2819.0
Subtract 1431 from 1559 to get 128.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 128, then carry on: 1287 / 159

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1287 by 159, we get 8 with a remainder of 15.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 28198.0
Subtract 1272 from 1287 to get 15.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 158 / 159

On to step 8:
158 divided by 159 is 0 with a remainder of 158.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 281980.0
If we take 0 away from 158, we end up with 158.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1580, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
1580 divided by 159 is 9 with a remainder of 149.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 281980.9
If we subtract 1431 from 1580, we get 149.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1490, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 1490 by 159, we get 9 with a remainder of 59.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 281980.99
If we subtract 1431 from 1490, we get 59.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 281980.99, and the remainder is 0.059.
