We're dividing 491243 by 45 
Our goal is to divide 491243 by 45.

Going ahead to step 1:
45 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 45 from 49 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 41 / 45

Advancing to step 3:
The number 45 fits into 41 0 times, leaving a remainder of 41.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 10.0
The remainder is 41 after subtracting 0 from 41.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 412 / 45

Advancing to step 4:
45 can be fit into 412 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Subtract 405 from 412 to get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 74 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 29.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1091.0
If we subtract 45 from 74, we get 29.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 293 / 45

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 293 by 45, we get 6 with a remainder of 23.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10916.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 270 from 293.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 230 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10916.5
If we take 225 away from 230, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
50 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 10916.51
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 45 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
If we divide 50 by 45, we get 1 and a remainder of 5.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10916.511
Subtract 45 from 50 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

The final result is 10916.511 with a remainder of 0.0005.
