We're dividing 498881 by 44 
Our goal is to divide 498881 by 44.

On to step 1:
44 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 44

Moving on to step 2:
49 divided by 44 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 44 away from 49, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 44

Step 3:
The number 44 fits into 58 1 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 44 from 58.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 148 / 44

Advancing to step 4:
44 can be fit into 148 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 113.0
Subtract 132 from 148 to get 16.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 168 / 44

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 168 by 44, we get 3 with a remainder of 36.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1133.0
Subtract 132 from 168 to get 36.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 36, then repeat: 361 / 44

On to step 6:
361 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11338.0
If we take 352 away from 361, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
44 can be fit into 90 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11338.2
If we subtract 88 from 90, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
44 goes into 20 0 times with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11338.2
If we take 0 away from 20, 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 9:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11338.204
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 176 from 200.
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 10:
The number 44 fits into 240 5 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11338.2045
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.

Step 11:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11338.20454
Deduct 176 from 200 and we're left 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
When dividing 240 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 11338.204545
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.

Going ahead to step 13:
200 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11338.2045454
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.

On to step 14:
If we divide 240 by 44, we get 5 and a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 11338.20454545
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 11338.20454545 with a balance of 2e-08.
