We divide 72868 by 44
We want to figure out the number of times 72868 can be divided by 44.

Going ahead to step 1:
7 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 44

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 72 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 28.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 44 away from 72, we end up with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 288 6 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 264 from 288 and we're left with 24.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 246 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 26.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 165.0
The remainder is 26 after subtracting 220 from 246.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 26 and continue with: 268 / 44

Moving on to step 5:
268 divided by 44 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1656.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 264 from 268.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 6:
40 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1656.0
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1656.09
If we take 396 away from 400, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
44 goes into 40 0 times with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1656.09
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
44 can be fit into 400 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1656.0909
Deduct 396 from 400 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1656.0909
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 400 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1656.090909
Subtracting 396 from 400 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
40 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1656.090909
If we subtract 0 from 40, we get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
If we divide 400 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1656.09090909
Subtracting 396 from 400 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1656.09090909 with a balance of 4e-09.
