We're dividing 279481 by 44 
Let's see how many times 44 fits into 279481.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 44, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 27 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 27.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 27 to get 27.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 279 / 44

Let's proceed to step 3:
44 can be fit into 279 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 264 from 279 leaves us with 15.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 154 / 44

Step 4:
When dividing 154 by 44, we get 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtract 132 from 154 to get 22.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 22, then repeat: 228 / 44

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 228 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 635.0
Subtracting 220 from 228 leaves us with 8.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 81 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
44 goes into 81 1 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6351.0
The remainder is 37 after subtracting 44 from 81.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 370, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
When dividing 370 by 44, we get 8 with a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6351.8
If we subtract 352 from 370, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 44 fits into 180 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 6351.84
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 176 from 180.
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 9:
44 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6351.84
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 10:
44 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6351.8409
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.

On to step 11:
44 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6351.8409
Subtracting 0 from 40 leaves us 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.

Step 12:
When dividing 400 by 44, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6351.840909
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.

Moving on to step 13:
44 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6351.840909
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.

Going ahead to step 14:
44 goes into 400 9 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6351.84090909
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 6351.84090909 with a balance of 4e-09.
