1. The problem is to divide 0.72 by 0.00044. 2. The formula for division is $$\frac{a}{b}$$ where $a$ is the numerator and $b$ is the denominator. 3. To simplify the division, multiply numerator and denominator by 100000 to remove decimals: $$\frac{0.72 \times 100000}{0.00044 \times 100000} = \frac{72000}{44}$$ 4. Now divide 72000 by 44: $$72000 \div 44 = 1636.3636...$$ 5. So, the result of dividing 0.72 by 0.00044 is approximately $1636.36$. 6. This means 0.72 is 1636.36 times larger than 0.00044.
