We look at the division of 140879 by 44 
Let's see how many times 44 fits into 140879.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 44, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 44

Going ahead to step 2:
14 divided by 44 is 0 with a remainder of 14.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 14 to get 14.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 14 and continue with: 140 / 44

Step 3:
140 divided by 44 is 3 with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 132 from 140 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 88 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
44 can be fit into 88 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 88 from 88 and we're left with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
44 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 320.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 44

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 79 by 44, we get 1 with a remainder of 35.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.0
Subtracting 44 from 79 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 44 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3201.7
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.

Advancing to step 8:
44 goes into 420 9 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.79
If we subtract 396 from 420, 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 9:
44 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3201.795
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us 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.

Step 10:
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: 3201.7954
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 11:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3201.79545
Subtracting 220 from 240 leaves us 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.

On to step 12:
The number 44 fits into 200 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.795454
Subtract 176 from 200 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.

Moving on to step 13:
240 divided by 44 is 5 with a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.7954545
Subtract 220 from 240 to 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.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 200 by 44, we get 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3201.79545454
If we take 176 away from 200, we end up 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.

In conclusion, the division gives 3201.79545454 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
