We divide 487717 by 45
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 487717.

On to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 45, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 45

Advancing to step 2:
48 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 45 from 48 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 45

On to step 3:
45 goes into 37 0 times with a remainder of 37.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 37 leaves us with 37.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 37 and continue: 377 / 45

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 377 by 45, we get 8 and a remainder of 17.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 108.0
If we take 360 away from 377, we end up with 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 17, then repeat: 171 / 45

Let's proceed to step 5:
171 divided by 45 is 3 with a remainder of 36.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1083.0
Subtracting 135 from 171 leaves us with 36.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 36, then carry on: 367 / 45

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 367 by 45, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10838.0
Subtracting 360 from 367 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 45, we get 1 with a remainder of 25.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 10838.1
The remainder is 25 after subtracting 45 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 250 by 45, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 10838.15
Subtract 225 from 250 to get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
45 goes into 250 5 times with a remainder of 25.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10838.155
If we take 225 away from 250, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 10838.155 and a remainder of 0.0025.
