Let's divide 214537 by 45
We want to divide 214537 by 45.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 45 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 21 / 45

Moving on to step 2:
The number 45 fits into 21 0 times, leaving a remainder of 21.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 214 / 45

Let's proceed to step 3:
214 divided by 45 is 4 with a remainder of 34.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 180 from 214 leaves us with 34.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 345 / 45

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 345 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 30.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 47.0
Subtract 315 from 345 to get 30.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 30 and repeat the process: 303 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 45 fits into 303 6 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 476.0
If we take 270 away from 303, we end up with 33.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 337 / 45

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 337 by 45, we get 7 and a remainder of 22.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4767.0
The remainder is 22 after subtracting 315 from 337.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 220 by 45, we get 4 and a remainder of 40.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4767.4
Subtract 180 from 220 to get 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
45 can be fit into 400 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4767.48
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 360 from 400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 400 by 45, we get 8 and a remainder of 40.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4767.488
If we take 360 away from 400, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 4767.488, and the remainder is 0.004.
