Let's see how many times 974 fits into 44294579.

Moving on to step 1:
974 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 974

Advancing to step 2:
44 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 44.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 44, we end up with 44.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 442 / 974

Going ahead to step 3:
442 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 442.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 442 leaves us with 442.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 442, then repeat: 4429 / 974

On to step 4:
If we divide 4429 by 974, we get 4 and a remainder of 533.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 3896 from 4429 to get 533.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 533 and continue: 5334 / 974

Step 5:
974 can be fit into 5334 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 464.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtract 4870 from 5334 to get 464.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 464 and continue with: 4645 / 974

Advancing to step 6:
4645 divided by 974 is 4 with a remainder of 749.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 454.0
Deduct 3896 from 4645 and we're left with 749.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 749, then carry on: 7497 / 974

Advancing to step 7:
The number 974 fits into 7497 7 times, leaving a remainder of 679.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4547.0
The remainder is 679 after subtracting 6818 from 7497.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 679, then carry on: 6799 / 974

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 6799 by 974, we get 6 and a remainder of 955.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 45476.0
Subtracting 5844 from 6799 leaves us with 955.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9550, and continue the process.

Step 9:
If we divide 9550 by 974, we get 9 and a remainder of 784.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45476.9
Subtracting 8766 from 9550 leaves us with 784.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7840, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 7840 by 974, we get 8 and a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45476.98
Subtracting 7792 from 7840 leaves us with 48.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 480, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
480 divided by 974 is 0 with a remainder of 480.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45476.98
The remainder is 480 after subtracting 0 from 480.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4800, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
974 can be fit into 4800 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 904.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45476.9804
If we subtract 3896 from 4800, we get 904.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9040, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 974 fits into 9040 9 times, leaving a remainder of 274.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45476.98049
If we subtract 8766 from 9040, we get 274.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2740, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 2740 by 974, we get 2 with a remainder of 792.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45476.980492
Subtract 1948 from 2740 to get 792.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7920, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
974 can be fit into 7920 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 128.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45476.9804928
If we take 7792 away from 7920, we end up with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 16:
974 goes into 1280 1 times with a remainder of 306.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45476.98049281
The remainder is 306 after subtracting 974 from 1280.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3060, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 45476.98049281 with a balance of 3.06e-07.
