We look at the division of 44977404 by 973 
We want to divide 44977404 by 973.

On to step 1:
973 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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 / 973

Step 2:
The number 973 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 44, we end up with 44.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 449 / 973

Advancing to step 3:
449 divided by 973 is 0 with a remainder of 449.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 449, we end up with 449.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 449, then repeat: 4497 / 973

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 4497 by 973, we get 4 and a remainder of 605.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3892 from 4497 to get 605.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 605 and continue: 6057 / 973

Moving on to step 5:
973 goes into 6057 6 times with a remainder of 219.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we subtract 5838 from 6057, we get 219.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 219, then carry on: 2194 / 973

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 2194 by 973, we get 2 with a remainder of 248.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 462.0
Subtract 1946 from 2194 to get 248.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 248, then carry on: 2480 / 973

Advancing to step 7:
973 can be fit into 2480 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 534.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4622.0
Deduct 1946 from 2480 and we're left with 534.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 534, then carry on: 5344 / 973

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 973 fits into 5344 5 times, leaving a remainder of 479.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46225.0
If we take 4865 away from 5344, we end up with 479.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4790, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
973 goes into 4790 4 times with a remainder of 898.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 46225.4
The remainder is 898 after subtracting 3892 from 4790.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
8980 divided by 973 is 9 with a remainder of 223.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46225.49
Subtracting 8757 from 8980 leaves us with 223.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2230, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
2230 divided by 973 is 2 with a remainder of 284.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46225.492
If we take 1946 away from 2230, we end up with 284.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2840, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 2840 by 973, we get 2 with a remainder of 894.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46225.4922
Subtracting 1946 from 2840 leaves us with 894.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8940, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 46225.4922, and the remainder is 0.00894.
