Let's divide 78740 by 44
Let's see how many times 44 fits into 78740.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 44 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 7 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 44

On to step 2:
44 goes into 78 1 times with a remainder of 34.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 44 from 78 to get 34.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 347 / 44

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 44 fits into 347 7 times, leaving a remainder of 39.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 308 from 347 and we're left with 39.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 39, then carry on: 394 / 44

On to step 4:
394 divided by 44 is 8 with a remainder of 42.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 352 from 394, we get 42.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 42 and continue: 420 / 44

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 420 by 44, we get 9 and a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1789.0
Subtracting 396 from 420 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.

Step 6:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1789.5
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.

Advancing to step 7:
44 can be fit into 200 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1789.54
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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 240 by 44, we get 5 with a remainder of 20.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1789.545
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.

On to step 9:
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: 1789.5454
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 10:
44 goes into 240 5 times with a remainder of 20.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1789.54545
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.

Step 11:
44 goes into 200 4 times with a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1789.545454
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
44 can be fit into 240 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.5454545
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 13:
200 divided by 44 is 4 with a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1789.54545454
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 1789.54545454 with a balance of 2.4e-08.
