We look at the division of 88685 by 45 
We're looking to find how many times 45 goes into 88685.

On to step 1:
45 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 45

Let's proceed to step 2:
88 divided by 45 is 1 with a remainder of 43.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 45 from 88 and we're left with 43.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 43 and repeat the process: 436 / 45

Going ahead to step 3:
436 divided by 45 is 9 with a remainder of 31.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
If we take 405 away from 436, we end up with 31.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 31, then repeat: 318 / 45

Let's proceed to step 4:
318 divided by 45 is 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 197.0
Deduct 315 from 318 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 45

Moving on to step 5:
45 goes into 35 0 times with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1970.0
Deduct 0 from 35 and we're left 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.

Step 6:
The number 45 fits into 350 7 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1970.7
Subtracting 315 from 350 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 7:
350 divided by 45 is 7 with a remainder of 35.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1970.77
If we subtract 315 from 350, we 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.

Our division results in 1970.77 with a remaining 0.035.
