We're dividing 44721356 by 872 
We want to divide 44721356 by 872.

Step 1:
872 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 872

On to step 2:
44 divided by 872 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 44, we end up with 44.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 44, then repeat: 447 / 872

Going ahead to step 3:
872 goes into 447 0 times with a remainder of 447.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 447 after subtracting 0 from 447.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 447 and continue with: 4472 / 872

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 872 fits into 4472 5 times, leaving a remainder of 112.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Deduct 4360 from 4472 and we're left with 112.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 112, then carry on: 1121 / 872

On to step 5:
872 goes into 1121 1 times with a remainder of 249.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Deduct 872 from 1121 and we're left with 249.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 249, then repeat: 2493 / 872

On to step 6:
If we divide 2493 by 872, we get 2 and a remainder of 749.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 512.0
If we take 1744 away from 2493, we end up with 749.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 749, then carry on: 7495 / 872

On to step 7:
872 can be fit into 7495 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 519.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5128.0
Deduct 6976 from 7495 and we're left with 519.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 519 and continue with: 5196 / 872

Step 8:
When dividing 5196 by 872, we get 5 with a remainder of 836.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51285.0
Deduct 4360 from 5196 and we're left with 836.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8360, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 8360 by 872, we get 9 and a remainder of 512.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 51285.9
If we subtract 7848 from 8360, we get 512.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5120, and continue the process.

Step 10:
5120 divided by 872 is 5 with a remainder of 760.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51285.95
The remainder is 760 after subtracting 4360 from 5120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
7600 divided by 872 is 8 with a remainder of 624.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51285.958
Subtract 6976 from 7600 to get 624.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
When dividing 6240 by 872, we get 7 with a remainder of 136.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51285.9587
Deduct 6104 from 6240 and we're left with 136.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1360, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 872 fits into 1360 1 times, leaving a remainder of 488.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51285.95871
The remainder is 488 after subtracting 872 from 1360.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
872 goes into 4880 5 times with a remainder of 520.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51285.958715
Deduct 4360 from 4880 and we're left with 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 5200 by 872, we get 5 and a remainder of 840.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51285.9587155
If we subtract 4360 from 5200, we get 840.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8400, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 51285.9587155 and a remainder of 8.4e-06.
