We divide 144971 by 44
We want to figure out the number of times 144971 can be divided by 44.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 44

Step 2:
44 goes into 14 0 times with a remainder of 14.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 14 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 144 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
44 goes into 144 3 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 132 from 144 to get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 44

Step 4:
When dividing 129 by 44, we get 2 with a remainder of 41.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 88 away from 129, we end up with 41.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 41, then carry on: 417 / 44

Step 5:
44 can be fit into 417 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 329.0
Subtract 396 from 417 to get 21.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 21 and continue: 211 / 44

Advancing to step 6:
211 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 35.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3294.0
Deduct 176 from 211 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
44 goes into 350 7 times with a remainder of 42.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3294.7
If we subtract 308 from 350, we get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
420 divided by 44 is 9 with a remainder of 24.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3294.79
Subtract 396 from 420 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 240 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3294.795
If we take 220 away from 240, we end up with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 44 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3294.7954
If we subtract 176 from 200, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
When dividing 240 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3294.79545
If we subtract 220 from 240, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 200 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3294.795454
If we subtract 176 from 200, we get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3294.7954545
The remainder is 20 after subtracting 220 from 240.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
If we divide 200 by 44, we get 4 and a remainder of 24.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3294.79545454
Subtracting 176 from 200 leaves us with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 3294.79545454, with a leftover of 2.4e-08.
