We divide 981944 by 45
Let's see how many times 45 fits into 981944.

On to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 98 / 45

On to step 2:
45 can be fit into 98 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 90 from 98 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 81 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 36.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtract 45 from 81 to get 36.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 36 and continue: 369 / 45

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 45 fits into 369 8 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 218.0
If we take 360 away from 369, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 94 / 45

Advancing to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 94 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2182.0
Deduct 90 from 94 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 44 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
The number 45 fits into 44 0 times, leaving a remainder of 44.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21820.0
Subtracting 0 from 44 leaves us with 44.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 440, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
45 goes into 440 9 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21820.9
If we take 405 away from 440, we end up with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 45 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21820.97
Subtract 315 from 350 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
350 divided by 45 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21820.977
Subtract 315 from 350 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21820.977 with a balance of 0.0035.
