174988 ÷ 44 
Our goal is to divide 174988 by 44.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 44

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 44 fits into 17 0 times, leaving a remainder of 17.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 17 to get 17.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 174 / 44

Moving on to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 174 3 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 42 after subtracting 132 from 174.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 42 and continue with: 429 / 44

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 429 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 33.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtracting 396 from 429 leaves us with 33.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 33 and continue: 338 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
The number 44 fits into 338 7 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 397.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 308 from 338.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 308 / 44

Going ahead to step 6:
308 divided by 44 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3977.0
If we subtract 308 from 308, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
0 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3977.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3977.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 3977.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
