Answer:
44 ÷ 2,876 = 0.01528 (rounded to five decimal places)
Explanation:
To divide 44 by 2,876, we can use long division. Here are the steps:
Write 44 under the long division symbol (÷) and 2,876 outside the symbol.
___
2,876 | 44
Since 2 is smaller than 44, we can't divide 2,876 by 44, so we need to add a decimal point and a zero to the quotient and bring down the next digit of the dividend (4).
___
2,876 | 44.0
___
2,876 | 44.0
4
We see that 28 is the largest multiple of 2,876 that is less than or equal to 440. We write 28 above the line, and multiply 2,876 by 28 to get 80,528. We subtract 80,528 from 440, which gives us a remainder of 4.

8 4
Since we have a remainder of 4, we can't bring down any more digits from the dividend, so we add a decimal point and a zero to the quotient and bring down a zero to make the dividend 40. We repeat the process of finding the largest multiple of 2,876 that is less than or equal to 400, writing it above the line, multiplying it by 2,876, subtracting the result from the dividend, and bringing down the next digit.

We have a remainder of 32, and we can't bring down any more digits from the dividend, so we add a decimal point and a zero to the quotient and bring down another zero to make the dividend 320. We repeat the process of finding the largest multiple of 2,876 that is less than or equal to 3,200, writing it above the line, multiplying it by 2,876, subtracting the result from the dividend, and bringing down the next digit.
