74885 divided by 45 
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 74885.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 45

Step 2:
When dividing 74 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 29.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 45 from 74.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 29, then repeat: 298 / 45

Step 3:
45 can be fit into 298 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Deduct 270 from 298 and we're left with 28.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 28, then repeat: 288 / 45

On to step 4:
If we divide 288 by 45, we get 6 and a remainder of 18.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 166.0
Deduct 270 from 288 and we're left with 18.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 18, then repeat: 185 / 45

Going ahead to step 5:
45 can be fit into 185 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1664.0
Subtracting 180 from 185 leaves us 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.

On to step 6:
45 can be fit into 50 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1664.1
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.

Step 7:
The number 45 fits into 50 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1664.11
If we take 45 away from 50, 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.

The quotient of the division is 1664.11, and the remainder is 0.005.
