We're dividing 44878696 by 870 
Our goal is to divide 44878696 by 870.

Step 1:
870 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 870

Step 2:
870 goes into 44 0 times with a remainder of 44.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 44 and we're left with 44.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 448 / 870

Moving on to step 3:
870 can be fit into 448 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 448.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 448 to get 448.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 448, then repeat: 4487 / 870

Step 4:
4487 divided by 870 is 5 with a remainder of 137.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 137 after subtracting 4350 from 4487.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 137 and continue with: 1378 / 870

Going ahead to step 5:
870 goes into 1378 1 times with a remainder of 508.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 870 from 1378 leaves us with 508.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 508 and continue with: 5086 / 870

On to step 6:
870 goes into 5086 5 times with a remainder of 736.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 515.0
Subtracting 4350 from 5086 leaves us with 736.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 736 and continue: 7369 / 870

Step 7:
If we divide 7369 by 870, we get 8 and a remainder of 409.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5158.0
If we subtract 6960 from 7369, we get 409.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 409 and continue with: 4096 / 870

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 4096 by 870, we get 4 with a remainder of 616.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51584.0
Subtract 3480 from 4096 to get 616.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6160, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
870 goes into 6160 7 times with a remainder of 70.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 51584.7
If we take 6090 away from 6160, we end up with 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
If we divide 700 by 870, we get 0 and a remainder of 700.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 51584.7
Subtracting 0 from 700 leaves us with 700.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7000, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
870 goes into 7000 8 times with a remainder of 40.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51584.708
Subtracting 6960 from 7000 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
870 can be fit into 400 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 400.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51584.708
The remainder is 400 after subtracting 0 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4000, and continue the process.

Step 13:
The number 870 fits into 4000 4 times, leaving a remainder of 520.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51584.70804
If we subtract 3480 from 4000, we get 520.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 5200, and continue the process.

Step 14:
870 goes into 5200 5 times with a remainder of 850.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 51584.708045
Subtract 4350 from 5200 to get 850.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8500, and continue the process.

Step 15:
870 goes into 8500 9 times with a remainder of 670.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51584.7080459
The remainder is 670 after subtracting 7830 from 8500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6700, and continue the process.

Step 16:
6700 divided by 870 is 7 with a remainder of 610.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 51584.70804597
If we take 6090 away from 6700, we end up with 610.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6100, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 51584.70804597 and a remainder of 6.1e-07.
