225987 ÷ 44 
We want to figure out the number of times 225987 can be divided by 44.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 22 / 44

Step 2:
22 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 22 leaves us with 22.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 225 / 44

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 225 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 220 from 225 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 59 by 44, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtract 44 from 59 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 158 by 44, we get 3 and a remainder of 26.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 513.0
If we subtract 132 from 158, we get 26.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 267 / 44

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 267 by 44, we get 6 with a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5136.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 264 from 267.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5136.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
44 can be fit into 300 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 5136.06
If we take 264 away from 300, we end up with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5136.068
If we subtract 352 from 360, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 44 fits into 80 1 times, leaving a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5136.0681
Subtract 44 from 80 to get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
360 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 5136.06818
Subtract 352 from 360 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
44 goes into 80 1 times with a remainder of 36.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5136.068181
If we subtract 44 from 80, we get 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
When dividing 360 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5136.0681818
Subtract 352 from 360 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
80 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5136.06818181
Deduct 44 from 80 and we're left with 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 360, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 5136.06818181, with a leftover of 3.6e-08.
