We divide 52988 by 44
We want to divide 52988 by 44.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 52 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 44 from 52.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 89 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
44 goes into 89 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 88 from 89 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 44 fits into 18 0 times, leaving a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtract 0 from 18 to get 18.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 188 / 44

Step 5:
The number 44 fits into 188 4 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.0
Subtract 176 from 188 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 44 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1204.2
Subtracting 88 from 120 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
44 goes into 320 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1204.27
Subtract 308 from 320 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
44 can be fit into 120 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.272
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 88 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 320 by 44, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.2727
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 308 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 44 fits into 120 2 times, leaving a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1204.27272
Subtract 88 from 120 to get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
If we divide 320 by 44, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1204.272727
If we subtract 308 from 320, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
120 divided by 44 is 2 with a remainder of 32.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1204.2727272
If we subtract 88 from 120, we get 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 320 by 44, we get 7 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1204.27272727
Subtracting 308 from 320 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1204.27272727 with a balance of 1.2e-08.
