1. **State the problem:** We need to divide 66 by 44, i.e., calculate $66 \div 44$. 2. **Formula and rules:** Division is the process of determining how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. Here, the dividend is 66 and the divisor is 44. 3. **Perform the division:** - 44 goes into 66 once because $44 \times 1 = 44$. - Subtract 44 from 66: $66 - 44 = 22$. - Since 22 is less than 44, we add a decimal point and a zero to continue dividing. - Bring down 0 making it 220. - 44 goes into 220 exactly 5 times because $44 \times 5 = 220$. - Subtract 220 from 220: $220 - 220 = 0$. 4. **Combine the results:** The quotient is $1.5$. 5. **Answer:** $$66 \div 44 = 1.5$$ This means 44 fits into 66 one and a half times.
